BLANC 2008
Mounir and Rotem Saouma established their two-person micro-négoce in 1999. They describe the 2008 vintage as one where the élevage was critical to each wine achieving its full potential. A very limited amount of sulfur (and in some cases, none at all) was used and that clearly played an important role because despite having ice…

ROUGE 2008
2008 Volnay “Santenots”A pretty and expressive though notably cool nose of red currant and raspberry marries into delicious, supple and beautifully detailed flavors that possess a refined and sophisticated mouth feel and about the only nit is a point of acidity that presently pokes through on the finish though it doesn’t diminish the length. (88-91)/2016+…

In spite of the early sex appeal provided by the barrels Mounir Saouma uses, crafted by cooper Stephane Chassin from Jupille oak, I found less easy sweetness in a number of the Lucien Le Moine 2007s, not to mention the 2008s. Saouma believes that this is largely because both of these vintages have very healthy…

BLANC 2007
Mounir and Rotem Saouma established their two-person micro-négoce in 1999. They describe the 2007 vintage as one « where you had to get the harvest date just right and just right parcel by parcel. The key to the chardonnay was to have reasonable yields and to have patience. We saw plenty of fruit that had been…

STEPHEN TANZER 2007 ROUGE
« There were really two choices with pinot noir in 2007, » said Mounir Saouma. « You could do quick vinifications and quick malos and privilege the fruit and the attack of the wines, or you could delay everything, leaving the wines on their lees to make them deeper and richer, like we did. » Saouma told me his…
