From Lucien Le Moine, the cult micro-négociant house based in Beaune, founded in 1999 by husband-and-wife team Mounir and Rotem Saouma. The name nods to Mounir's time studying winemaking at a Trappist monastery in Lebanon. The house buys grapes after fermentation from a carefully selected list of growers across the Côte d'Or, working from village level up to the most celebrated Premier and Grand Cru sites. Production is intentionally small, rarely exceeding 100 barrels in total each vintage, often only one barrel of each cuvée.
Les Gouttes d'Or, meaning 'drops of gold', is a Meursault Premier Cru on the Volnay side of the village, producing Chardonnay of richness and exoticism. The wine shows ripe stone fruit, honey, beeswax, almond and candied citrus over a generous, textural palate balanced by Meursault's characteristic mineral spine.
Mounir's signature is an extended élevage on the lees with no racking, no fining and no filtration, in barrels that are typically 100% new oak from the Jupilles forest. Sulfur is added only minimally and late. The wines are bottled directly from barrel without blending, designed to express the place rather than the man.
