Lucien Le Moine Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Les Terres Blanches” 2016 (91 VM)

“Bright, light yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon drop, crushed rock and Chartreuse herbs. Moderately dense but quite energetic, conveying an impression of firm acidity and pronounced minerality (“this very cool, humid plot in the highest section of the cru features a distinctive kind of calcaire, with white stones and almost no clay,” says Mounir Saouma, adding that “a lot of people ask if this wine has some Pinot Blanc”). Finishes pure, salty and long, with an unexpected touch of sweetness leavened by citric lift.”
