Mounir and Rotem Saouma established their two-person micro-négoce in 1999 that focuses exclusively on the very best 1ers and grands crus. They describe the 2011 as "another tiny but completely classic vintage that on paper at least closely resembles 2010. The growing seasons though were completely different and it's interesting how you can have what were basically an early harvest and a late harvest and yet wind up with comparable technical parameters. Another interesting aspect is that early on many of the wines resembled one another, in fact it was hard to tell many of them apart from one another yet as the élevage progressed they began to individualize. Another point of comparison is that both vintages enjoy plenty of dry extract levels and while 2010 produced slightly more concentrated wines, the terroir expression of 2011 is, if anything, even clearer. Lastly, I doubt that 2011 will ever close up as I believe that 2010 will after a year or two in bottle." While there were a few question marks in the range due mostly to very heavy reduction that sometimes extended to the palate, the quality is largely consistent and impressive. To that end Saouma indicated that nothing had yet been racked and thus there would naturally be reduction in some wines. In terms of enjoying the Le Moine wines, one point that bears mentioning is that the wines always have noticeable residual CO2 in them and thus they should absolutely be decanted. Tasting note: There is enough reduction present to block everything but evanescent whiffs of floral scents. There is really lovely intensity and focus to the solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that are also firm but markedly less powerful and robust than those of the Clos de la Roche, all wrapped in an elegant, pure and well-balanced finish. This is also very promising and while the tannins are fine they're also dense.
