Lucien Le Moine Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru “Les Vaucrains” 2017 (93 WS)
Wine Spectator “Racy and succulent, with firm tannins underlining cherry, currant and spice flavors. It's balanced, needing time to absorb the oak. Very vibrant and pure. Best from 2022 through 2036."

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Suchots” 2016
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Suchots”
Les Suchots is one of Lucien Le Moine’s finest Crus every year. Mounir says that, like Échézeaux, there is an almost Syrah-like character of licorice and smoke. Les Suchots is a wine with a lot of tannin and less of a classic, delicate Burgundian profile.

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts” 2016
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Petits Monts”
Les Petits Monts is a small, 9 acre vineyard just up-slope from Richebourg. Mounir Saouma says about Les Petits Monts that it is not far from Les Suchots, and on top of Richebourg, with a poor, dry soil. It is in character the opposite of Les Suchots, which is colored and tannic - it is a subtle and very fine wine, which shows little tannin, more floral notes and more of a St-Vivant character.

Wine Spectator (93) "Perfumed with rose, cherry, strawberry and sandalwood aromas, this red is elegant and silky. Lovely balance and harmony makes this very approachable now, augmented by a well-integrated structure for aging.…

Burghound “Notes of herbal tea, spice, black cherry and sandalwood lead to racy, intense and almost pungently mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess a chiseled, driving and wonderfully long finish that…
