Domaine Lucien Le Moine, Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru
Lucien Le Moine is a unique négociant–haute couture is often how they are described. Husband and wife, Mounir and Rotem Saouma source small parcels of wine from many producers. Their contribution to the wine is in the elevage, esoteric regime which changes each vintage relying on Mounir’s sensory talents forged in a Trappist monastery in Lebanon and honed in their vaulted cellars in the Cote d’Or. Working with the best (Jupilles, FRA), fine-grained new oak, the Saoumas produce a staggering number of Grands and 1er Crus cuvees.
Laurent Ponsot Grand Cru, Cuvée de l'Amandier
Bonnes Mares Cuvée de l'Amandier is expressive with lush notes of ripe red and black berry fruit, earthy red and black cherry and spice. The medium-weight flavours possess an elegant and balanced mouthfeel, displaying excellent intensity on the persistent finish.

Domaine de Clos de Tart, Clos de Tart Grand Cru
Clos de Tart is a monopole that was established in the 12th century. In 2017, French billionaire Francois Pinault (owner of Château Latour) acquired the Domaine for a reported quarter of a billion euros. Clos de Tart is one of the most prestigious vineyards in the world. Situated in the ??commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, the vineyard is planted on the slopes. This Monopole is entirely planted to 7.53 hectares of Pinot Noir on a complex of limestone that’s rich in fossilised marine life and white marl. Taking an extremely detailed approach to selection (based on soil profile, clonal or massale selection, vine age), Clos de Tart produces 13 separately vinified cuvées. This allows winemaker Alessandro Noli greater control in producing the Grand Cru.
