About this wine

Les Gouttes d’Or is one of Meursault’s most complete premiers crus, with stony soils that lend tension to its naturally generous style. Lucien Le Moine’s 2011 shows layers of ripe pear, baked apple and citrus curd alongside grilled nuts, smoke, vanilla and a distinct chalky minerality. The palate is broad and textured but kept in check by lively acidity and a salty, mouth-watering finish. With bottle age, notes of honey, brioche and dried flowers emerge, making this a great pairing for richer dishes.

Lucien Le Moine

Lucien Le Moine is a micro-négociant specialising exclusively in top-tier premier and grand cru Burgundy from purchased grapes and must. Production is tiny, and élevage is long and meticulous, yielding dense, powerful wines with serious concentration and layered complexity. They’re built for cellaring and appeal to collectors who enjoy a more intense, baroque expression of Burgundy crus.
