Served blind at NYE dinner, smells & taste like an expensive Burgundy blanc, rich, full bodied, ripe, young, guessed Lucien Le Moine Bourgogne blanc, so good, really premier cru quality, great QPR 92

Right from the bottle this is golden yellow and smells like ripe apples. I was afraid for a moment it might be slightly prematurely ripened, but just ten minutes of air cleansed the wine. It shows an expressive nose of lemons, newly mowed lawn, gooseberries, crushed flint and cold dewy morning on the beach. Very impressive. Also on the palate it impresses me. After opening up and having a lot of air, the palate gives me lots of concentration, and the wine punches above its weight class. This could be a Puligny or perhaps a Chassagne village. Light and spritzy citrus fruits, lots of minerality followed by a concentrated and intense palate and a long linguering finish. Very good!

Not a lot to say to my last ratings - I will however add that acidity was a bit more dominating in this bottle - also affecting the balance -however staying at 91.

It is light and refreshing - lots of citrus and a good minerality - the balance is great - we had the wine together with lobster which was very good. Medium acidity. I think 91 is fair.

Denne produsentenner en trollmann med hvite viner, kanskje nesten pa hyde med Leflavie. Lucien lager vin for gudene. Selv med regionsvinen Bourgogne klarer han trylle frem himmelsk duft og smak. 100% Cardonnaey Klar intense gylden gull farge. Duft av sitrus og tropisk frukt, smr, ntter, mineraler og en nydelig touch av eik. Fet deilig intense overflate med tydelig viskositet. Kompleks og elegant vin med en behagelig balansert syre. Lucien lager kraftfulle viner med en fantastisk mineralsk finish og lengde. Glatt 90/100 poeng og 4.1

Åpner noe forsiktig, men kommer seg raskt med luft. Sitrus og mineraler. Fin eikebruk, bedre enn 2012 som var i overkant eiket etter min smak. Brukbar konsentrasjon og balanse, men savner nerve og toppfrukt. Fin BB, men føler at det mangler noe. Det er vel slik BB er... 88+

Decanted 1 hr. Nice fruity nose. First glass was tart & citrusy. Then it opened up with balanced tastes of lemon, fruits & minerals. Enjoyable on the patio on a warm summer day.

Super matvin. Flott frukt og konsentrasjon. Fortsatt litt eik, men perfekt til årets skrei.
