The 2015 Meursault Charmes from Lucien Le Moine is a Premier Cru Chardonnay, sourced from selected parcels within the Meursault Charmes vineyard. Employing a meticulous négociant model, Lucien Le Moine collaborates with trusted growers to secure must and young wines, ensuring careful provenance. This vintage reveals a complex bouquet featuring notes of pear, floral hints and subtle spice. The palate is rich yet balanced, demonstrating a layered texture with nuances of minerality and a lingering finish.
Vinous
- (in barrel but still moving, according to Saouma): Slightly cloudy appearance. Knockout nose combines aromas of candied lemon peel, redcurrant, fresh herbs, humid fern, camomile and cinnamon cookies. Densely packed and solid as a rock, if not showing quite as much personality in the mouth as on the nose. Wonderfully sweet, though, with captivating floral lift to its citrus and red berry flavors. Finishes surprisingly dry, with a touch of bitter citrus zest character and salty minerality. Saouma, who makes his Charmes from a high and low parcel, told me he normally finds this premier cru a bit anonymous as it's frequently picked too late and ripe, but this wine is utterly distinctive.

A Boutique Négociant

Founded by Mounir and Rotem Saouma in the late 1990s, Lucien Le Moine is a small, quality focussed négociant that bottle wines from some of the greatest Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The team aim to bottle around 100 barrels each vintage, which can sometimes represent over 60 different wines. There are no contracts with the growers and no winemaking requirements from Lucien Le Moine beyond the stipulation that the wines be of the highest possible quality.

The wines arrive with Lucien Le Moine fully vinified and Rotem and Mounir focus solely on élévage, racking the wines into new oak barrels made to their own particular specifications. It's tricky to generalise across dozens of wines from many different crus, but both the whites and reds tend towards the generous with a ripeness of fruit and a fullness of body that is rare in the Côte d'Or.
