Lucien Le Moine Échezeaux Grand Cru 2016 (94 BH)

“Moderate reduction masks the fruit today. There is an excellent sense of underlying tension to the almost racy medium-bodied flavors that possess fine delineation on the firm, youthfully austere and palate soaking finish. This is quite structured but not really hard but thanks to the abundant dry extract, a wine that should be accessible in its youth.”

    Échezeaux Grand Cru

    Lucien Le Moine has been producing one of the very finest examples of Échézeaux for several years running. Mounir says that you can make the analogy that Échézeaux is the syrah of Burgundy. On the Flagey side there is a flat exposition and the limestone is not as evident. As a result the wine has a licorice, smoky note which almost brings you to the Côte-Rôtie.
