Lucien Le Moine
Lucien Le Moine is a Beaune-based Burgundy micro-négociant founded in 1999 by Mounir and Rotem Saouma, who select wines exclusively from premier and grand cru sites, vinify in their cellar, and age in 100% new oak. The operation is one of the most polarizing in Burgundy—critics have awarded exceptional scores while others have debated the house style's oak-driven character in youth. The portfolio spans an extraordinary range of appellations, from Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges premier crus to Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Chevalier-Montrachet grand crus. The Chevalier-Montrachet commands the highest auction average at $2,197 across 5 lots (2018 peak), while Romanée-Saint-Vivant averages $559 across 13 lots. Montrachet Grand Cru averages $619 across 12 lots, and Bâtard-Montrachet averages $509 across 17 lots. Among reds, Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts leads at $225 average across 21 lots. The maximum auction price of $5,000 represents a top grand cru vintage. Across 173 lots at an average of $310, Lucien Le Moine delivers breadth of grand cru exposure rarely available from a single négociant source, with 2017 the most active trading vintage.

In the Glass
Lucien Le Moine wines in youth are marked by 100% new oak: toasty, vanilla-spiced, and rich. Reds from the Côte de Nuits—Vosne Malconsorts, Griotte-Chambertin—show black cherry, rose petal, and earthy complexity beneath the oak frame, resolving into silky elegance with a decade of age. Whites—particularly Bâtard and Montrachet—are broad and richly textured, with stone fruit, cream, and mineral depth emerging from the oak influence over 5–10 years.
