The 2019 Lucien Le Moine Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru is a distinguished Pinot Noir from the Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region in the Grands Echezeaux appellation. This red wine is crafted by the esteemed producer Lucien le Moine. As a Grand Cru, it holds a prestigious designation that marks it as a wine of exceptional quality.

Burghound, a respected reviewer in the wine industry, provides a glowing assessment of this vintage. Awarding it an impressive score of 96 points, Burghound describes the wine as having "cool, restrained and nicely elegant aromas" with a "plethora of spice and floral elements" that are evident on the nose, which is scented with red and dark berries. The review highlights the wine's "beguiling texture" and "wonderfully delicious and vibrant muscular big-bodied flavors." It's noted for its "outstanding power and superb depth," offering a palate-coating experience with a "hugely long and remarkably complex finish."

The review further praises the wine by stating, "This is already stunningly good," a testament to its immediate appeal, yet it also hints at the wine's potential for aging. Remarkably, Burghound suggests that this Grands-Echezeaux is currently showing even better than the producer's Richebourg, another highly regarded wine.

With an alcohol content of 14.0%, this wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure, which is typical for high-end wines of this caliber. While it is already receiving high praise, the 2019 Lucien Le Moine Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru is expected to develop further complexity with age, making it a noteworthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
