Producer

Lucien Le Moine is a micro-négociant established and run by husbandand-wife team Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin. It is hard to find a more perfectionist address in Burgundy: both parcels of grapes and barrels are meticulously selected, and élevage is carried out with phenomenal attention to detail. Almost every wine from Le Moine is premier or grand cru, and the few that are not nonetheless aspire to that same level of quality. Total production is limited to a hundred barrels (2,500 cases), with each wine made typically in quantities of between one and three barrels.

Vineyard

The lieu-dit of Les Reuchaux lies due north of the village of Puligny itself, towards the bottom of the slope, on quite rich clay-limestone soil.

Winery

The wine was aged on its lees, gently stirred and never racked. Very little SO2 was added during élevage. The wine was neither fined nor filtered before bottling.
