Lucien Le Moine Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 (94 VM)
“Good medium ruby. Brooding aromas of medicinal black cherry and bitter chocolate complicated by a spicy element. Very dense, concentrated and savory, conveying grand cru depth of texture and subtle sweetness but still quite primary and even a bit stunted today. Finishes with surprisingly suave tannins and a building spiciness.”

As the name suggests, wines from this vineyard are full of charm - beautiful aromatics and weight. Mounir looks for the “charm” in Charmes-Chambertin - a wine with sweetness, fruit, spice, chocolate notes. He feels it is at its best when it is attractive and approachable.
