White wines from this sector are entitled to the Meursault appellation, and the site's higher elevation and limestone-rich soils are known for giving the wines a particularly fresh, structured and mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 opens with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus blossom, joined by notes of hazelnut, brioche and subtle flint. The palate is generous yet focused, balancing Meursault's characteristic richness with bright acidity and a firm mineral core. Orchard fruit and citrus unfold across a creamy, finely textured palate, while saline and chalky notes bring precision and lift to the long, persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlagny offers a compelling contrast within Meursault. Its elevated position lends the wine additional freshness and tension, resulting in a style that combines the breadth and texture associated with Meursault with a more linear, mineral-driven personality reminiscent of neighboring Puligny-Montrachet.\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. The house works exclusively with selected Premier and Grand Cru wines from the Côte d'Or, typically producing only one to three barrels of each individual Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines are selected very early and raised entirely by Lucien Le Moine from the beginning of their élevage. Both whites and reds are aged on 100% of their lees, with no racking during maturation. The wines are bottled by gravity and are neither fined nor filtered, an unusually patient approach designed to preserve texture, complexity and the individual character of each vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 2023 Meursault Premier Cru Blagny, this extended lees aging brings depth and supple texture without obscuring the site's naturally cool, stony personality. The result is a distinctive white Burgundy with concentration, freshness and excellent potential for further development in bottle.\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 Meursault Premier Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blagny\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 Excellent with lobster, scallops, roasted fish, poultry in cream sauce, veal, mushroom dishes and risotto.
