Lucien Le Moine Grands-Échezeaux Grand Cru 2022 comes from one of the smallest and most distinguished Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte de Nuits, situated above Clos de Vougeot and beside Échezeaux.

The wine opens with red currant, plum and dark cherry, followed by violet, exotic spice, tea leaf and subtle earthy notes. The palate is deep and concentrated, with a silky texture layered over serious structure and fine but persistent tannins.

Lucien Le Moine’s extended élevage on the full lees adds remarkable texture and depth, while the natural power of Grands-Échezeaux gives the wine the structure for very long aging.

The character here is less about immediate fruit and more about harmony, density and evolution. Even within Grand Cru Burgundy, this is a wine that rewards patience and belongs in a serious cellar.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, venison, beef tenderloin, game birds, truffle dishes, porcini mushrooms, or mature Comté.

Serve around 58–62°F. If opening young, decant carefully for approximately one hour, but ideally allow substantial bottle age.
