LUCIEN LE MOINE Bonnes Mares 2020. Score : 97
Tasting Note
This red turns up the volume a little on its cherry, raspberry, violet, stone and spice aromas and flavors. It’s more about intensity than sheer power, more about complexity than concentration, underlined by vibrant acidity and refined tannins. The oak treatment reveals itself more on the finish today, with smoky, spicy elements. Best from 2027 through 2048. 13 cases imported. –BS

LUCIEN LE MOINE Clos de Vougeot 2020. Score : 96

Very tightly wound and well-marked by new oak, this steely red is one of the most backward wines of the vintage. Cherry, currant and leafy tobacco flavors abound, while vivid acidity drives the lengthy finish, where the fruit is the lasting impression on the aftertaste.

Best from 2026 through 2043. 11 cases imported. –BS
