The monks call him Lucien, his friends call him Le Moine. Mounir Saouma, his real name, is a living legend, a winemaking druid. Madly in love with Burgundy, he learned the ropes there from his uncle, the Father Abbot. When he arrived in France with his wife Rothem, the Côte d'Or was his refuge. He first enjoyed taking over several estates before creating his own, working with the grapes of winegrower friends. He quickly sourced select Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. In total, 38 Burgundy crus are now bottled under his own label, and the Domaine's name was a natural fit: Lucien Le Moine. The juices are vinified and aged using ancient and traditional Burgundian techniques learned at the Monastery. The entire range quickly established itself at the top of the great Burgundy wines. The story is as magical as the wines.

Measuring 17.42 hectares, it is unofficially the greatest vintage of the Côte de Beaune and undoubtedly one of the most accessible because its distribution is far from confidential. A zone facing due east forming a flat area above the Maréchaudes, it is composed of a very stony ferruginous soil. Loaded with potash, the substrate is still quite filtering and it is an area that dries quickly, preventing the fruits from becoming waterlogged. At an average altitude of 260 meters, it undoubtedly has the potential to be a distinguished and fragrant vintage on a rather elegant register in the context of the Mountain.
