(Wine Advocate Score 91-93) The 2011 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains sports a broody, introspective nose that takes time to reveal its meaty red berry fruit. The palate is well-balanced with firm, quite sweet tannins. There is good weight in the mouth and more substance than the Les Saint Georges, exerting a gentle grip after the wine is ejected. Good aging potential here, but it will need three or four year in bottle to do it justice.

Lucien le Moine is known for producing hand-crafted wines that are made with a minimalist approach. Never racking, no pumps, very low levels of SO2 and a heavy emphasis on working with the fine lees.

The natural CO2 from the malolactic is present even in bottle. In fact we are looking for this presence as it helps protecting the wine in the most natural way.
The CO2 protects the wine by closing it upon itself that is why ALL OUR WINES MUST BE DECANTED. With decanting CO2 will leave and the wine will show itself. If one has time decanting can be for a few hours, if not a few minutes: by pouring the wine into the decanter and moving it slowly allowing the gas to leave.
