We are excited to present the 2022 Lucien Le Moine Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘Les Chaffots’, a captivating and limited-production red Burgundy from one of the village’s highest-altitude premier cru vineyards. Perched on the upper slopes above Clos Saint-Denis and Clos de la Roche, Les Chaffots is known for its stony soils and cool exposure, producing Pinot Noir of structure, lift, and mineral tension. The 2022 vintage offers a stunning expression of this site, with a perfumed nose of black cherry, wild herbs, crushed rock, and rose petals. The palate is focused and deep, with refined tannins, dark berry fruit, savory spice, and a long, chiseled finish. It’s a wine that balances elegance with underlying power, built to reward careful cellaring. Although official scores for this vintage have not yet been published, Lucien Le Moine’s premier cru reds regularly receive 95+ point ratings from Wine Advocate, Burghound, and Vinous, and early notes on the 2022 vintage praise its vibrancy, terroir expression, and aging potential. Founded in 1999 by Mounir Saouma and Rotem Brakin, Lucien Le Moine is one of Burgundy’s most acclaimed micro-négociants, renowned for its obsessive attention to detail and commitment to traditional winemaking. Each wine is vinified with native yeasts, aged on its lees in carefully selected barrels, and never racked or filtered—allowing each terroir to speak with clarity and authenticity. With a production model that treats every barrel as a unique expression, Le Moine wines are prized for their precision, depth, and individuality. The 2022 ‘Les Chaffots’ is a rare and powerful example of Morey-Saint-Denis at its most refined—an outstanding addition to any serious Burgundy collection.
