Lucien Le Moine Clos de la Roche 2016: a Grand Cru from Morey-Saint-Denis
Clos de la Roche is a Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis, and this 2016 is a dry red made from Pinot Noir. It comes from a Beaune négociant founded in 1999 that makes one to three barrels per cru. The appellation was created in 1936 and makes red wine only; it covers between 13.4 and 16.5 ha.
Lucien Le Moine, a négociant-éleveur in Beaune
Mounir Saouma and Rotem Saouma founded the house in Beaune in 1999 and run it as a two-person business. It owns no vineyards in Burgundy. It buys wine from growers after fermentation and raises it itself, as a négociant-éleveur.
In Burgundy, the house makes only Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines from the Côte d’Or. The house makes a maximum of 100 barrels, about 30,000 bottles, a year, and one to three barrels (300–900 bottles) per cru, with no blending between barrels.
Jupilles oak, no racking: how Le Moine raises its wines
All its cuvées use oak from the Jupilles forest only, in barrels with a slow coal toast adapted to each cru. The wines stay on their lees with bâtonnage three to four times a month and are never racked during élevage. Malolactic fermentation is pushed late into summer, and the natural CO2 is kept as protection. The wines are neither fined nor filtered, and are bottled by gravity after a full moon.
