Lucien le Moine Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'La Richemone' 2022

Lucien Le Moine Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'La Richemone' 2022 is a deep and distinctive red wine from the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. This wine comes from the Premier Cru vineyard La Richemone , located in the south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, near the border with Vosne-Romanée. This area is known for producing wines with a more elegant and perfumed style compared to the more robust wines from the north of the commune.

Made entirely from Pinot Noir, the wine reflects the warmth and ripeness of the vintage with notes of dark berries such as black cherries, blackberries and wild raspberries. It also offers nuances of violet, black tea, light licorice and subtle spices from aging in oak barrels, which at Lucien Le Moine are typically 100% new.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated with pronounced but ripe tannins and a deep, dark fruit profile. It has lively acidity that adds freshness and balance. The finish is long, mineral and characterized by both fruit and finesse.

Serving suggestion: Ideal with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto or game with a rich sauce.

Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Aging: Matured in 100% new oak barrels
Alcohol: Approximately 13.5% (the exact percentage can be seen on the label)

La Richemone is a lesser-known but highly regarded vineyard, and in Lucien Le Moinen's hands it becomes a wine with both depth and potential for long aging. A wine for those who value intensity combined with precision.
