The vineyards of Chassagne sit on predominantly clay-limestone soils, providing Chardonnay with an exceptional balance of richness, structure and mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 offers an inviting aromatic profile of ripe pear, citrus, yellow apple and white flowers, complemented by subtle notes of toasted almond, stone and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is generous and layered, with beautifully textured Chardonnay fruit balanced by bright acidity and an underlying mineral backbone. The finish is long, focused and elegant, with lingering citrus, saline and lightly nutty nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLucien Le Moine is the tiny Beaune-based micro-négociant founded by Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin in 1999. Production is exceptionally limited, often amounting to only one to three barrels of an individual Cru. The wines are selected shortly after pressing and then raised entirely by Lucien Le Moine from the beginning of their élevage through bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA defining element of the house style is extended aging on 100% of the lees. The wines remain on their lees throughout élevage without racking, allowing them to develop remarkable texture, complexity and depth. Bottling is performed by gravity, and the wines are neither fined nor filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn La Grande Montagne, this distinctive approach brings an additional dimension of richness and breadth to the naturally mineral character of Chassagne-Montrachet. The result is a compelling Premier Cru with impressive presence today and the structure to develop beautifully with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy, France\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubregion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte de Beaune\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Grande Montagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beautiful with lobster, scallops, roasted or grilled fish, poultry, veal, creamy mushroom dishes and rich seafood preparations.
