Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée 1st Cru Les Chaumes 2022

A seductive premier cru from Burgundy

Lucien Le Moine is among the most sought-after producers in Burgundy, and with this Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2022, the house once again shows why their wines rank among the most elegant and complex in the region.

Grapes and alcohol

Grape variety : 100% Pinot Noir

Alcohol percentage : 14% vol.

Appearance

The wine presents itself with an intense ruby ​​red color, vibrant and brilliant in the glass – a hallmark of a young, concentrated Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée.

Fragrance

The nose opens with a wealth of ripe red berries such as cherries and raspberries, followed by layers of violets, rose petals and a touch of oriental spices. Subtle notes of forest floor, licorice and a fine touch of toasted oak round out the bouquet and testify to the wine's aging potential.

Taste

On the palate, Les Chaumes 2022 is silky smooth, yet impressively deep. The palate is dominated by juicy, ripe red fruit, beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and elegant, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and complex with notes of spice, flowers and a subtle minerality.

Storage potential

Although the wine already appears harmonious, its full potential will only unfold with a few years of cellaring. It is expected to develop even greater complexity towards 2030-2035.

Food pairing

This wine deserves refined dishes: pigeon, quail or duck breast with red berries; veal tenderloin or tournedos Rossini; or simply mature, firm cheeses such as Comté or Tomme de Savoie.
