Lucien Le Moine Preuses Chablis Grand Cru 2019
Lucien le Moine is committed to producing wines of excellent purity. The lees are gently stirred throughout winter in order to nourish the wines, providing the complexity and richness. The malolactic fermentation occurs the following spring. The wines are bottles by gravity with no filtration or pumping. This ensures maximum freshness and a high level of CO2, allowing the winery to use a minimum amount of sulphur. For those same reasons, it is recommended decanting if this wine drank in its youth.
Elegant and pure aromas of green fruit, citrus confit, orange peel and iodine wisps are trimmed in a gentle dollop of wood. There is again excellent volume to the less mineral driven but finer medium-bodied flavors that conclude in an agreeably dry, refined and sneaky long finish. A firm Chablis grand cru of finesse and punch. - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-94 Points
