Lucien Le Moine Grands Échezeaux Grand Cru 2016 (95 BH)
“Here there is no reductive funk as the restrained but very complex nose offers up a wide range of spice elements that include notes of hoisin, Asian-style tea, cassis and pretty floral nuances. The sleek, even polished big-bodied flavors possess a refined mouth feel despite plenty of muscle thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the finish where the structure really comes up on the finish. This is very clearly built-to-age and is going to need it.”

Grands Échezeaux Grand Cru
Grands Échézeaux is a 23 acre vineyard, one that only recently Lucien Le Moine has started working with to produce wines that show unusual subtlety and harmony. Mounir describes Grands Échézeaux 22 as the “Les Amoureuses” of Vosne. It sits between Échézeaux and Clos de Vougeot, which are big and tannic, but Grands Échézeaux is very balanced and straight - nothing is exaggerated.
