This 2017 Lucien le Moine Clos St Denis is a stunning example of a Pinot Noir from the prestigious Burgundy region in France. With a deep and alluring red color, this wine immediately catches the eye and hints at the complexity that lies within.

On the nose, the wine offers an intoxicating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes. There is also a subtle earthiness present, reminiscent of damp forest floor and truffles, adding a layer of intrigue to the aroma profile.

As the wine dances on the palate, it showcases a perfect balance between power and finesse. The silky smooth texture caresses the taste buds, while the vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins provide structure and longevity. Flavors of red currants, blackberries, and plums mingle harmoniously with hints of spice, such as cinnamon and cloves. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a trail of dried herbs and a touch of smokiness.

Crafted by the esteemed producer Lucien le Moine, this Clos St Denis truly exemplifies the terroir of the region. The grapes are carefully handpicked from the vineyards in Morey St Denis, ensuring only the highest quality fruit is used in the winemaking process. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and adds subtle hints of vanilla and toast.

With an alcohol percentage of 13.5%, this wine is perfectly balanced and showcases the elegance and finesse that Burgundy is known for. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including roasted duck, grilled salmon, or a mushroom risotto. Alternatively, it can be enjoyed on its own, allowing the exquisite flavors to take center stage.

In conclusion, the 2017 Lucien le Moine Clos St Denis is a remarkable wine that captures the essence of Burgundy. It is a true testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the producer, and a delightful addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
