Established in Beaune since 1999, this micro-domaine offers an exclusive, small-scale production dedicated solely to the Premiers and Grands Crus of the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Or, vinified and aged with the utmost respect for Burgundian traditions. <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"777\" class=\"\">A Unique and Inspiring Story<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1230\" class=\"\">Mounir Saouma\u2019s journey is exceptional. Trained in winemaking in a monastery near Jerusalem, he pursued oenology studies in Montpellier, and refined his skills in Burgundy, California, and other French regions. His meeting with Rotem Brakin, an agricultural engineer from a cheesemaking family, gave rise to a shared vision of wine\u2014artisanal, intuitive, and deeply terroir-driven.  <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1291\" class=\"\">A Unique Philosophy: Purity, Precision, and Typicity<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1807\" class=\"\">Lucien Le Moine is not a traditional estate but a haute-couture wine atelier. Each year, the couple hand-selects the best musts from partner growers, mostly in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards from the C\u00f4te de Nuits and C\u00f4te de Beaune, such as Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses, Corton-Charlemagne, and Vosne-Roman\u00e9e. Each cru is vinified separately, in ultra-limited quantities (1 to 3 barrels per cuv\u00e9e), with no fining or filtration, and bottled by gravity.  <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1856\" class=\"\">Minimalist, Handcrafted Winemaking<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2262\" class=\"\">Everything is designed to reveal the identity of the terroir. The wines are aged on their lees without racking and regularly stirred. All barrels come exclusively from the Jupilles forest, known for its fine grain oak. The couple intentionally delays malolactic fermentation to naturally protect the wines with residual CO\u2082. Every detail matters\u2014each cuv\u00e9e is a masterpiece.    <\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2267\" class=\"\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2313\" class=\"\">Clos Saouma: The Mediterranean Adventure<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2528\" class=\"\">In 2009, Mounir and Rotem Saouma acquired 2 hectares in Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, on the mythical Pignan lieu-dit.

Cuv\u00e9es like <strong data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2737\">Arioso<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2741\" data-end=\"2750\">Omnia<\/strong> come from organic farming and slow vinifications, using wooden vats, concrete eggs, or demi-muids, depending on the vintage and parcel.
