Tasting notes
The 1969 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos des Monts Luisants 1er Cru has an intense, well-defined bouquet with melted candle wax, white truffle and orange pith aromas that seem to grow in the glass. The palate is very fresh with fine acidity. It's saline and taut in the mouth, with bitter lemon and quince toward the finish. This is superb.

That site and cépage were well-adapted to this vintage is proven by the 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc, a striking wine evocative of citrus zest, crisp Anjou pear, freshly baked bread and almond paste. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a deep core of fruit and chalky structuring extract, it concludes with a long, saline finish.

Hellgolden mit grünlichen Reflexen. Zurückhaltend im Duft, jodig, Lindenblüte, eine Spur geriebener Apfel und geröstete Haselnuss. Im Mund zeigt sich eine superben Balance aus Öligkeit und trockenem, noch immer festem Stoff, untermalt von einer Spur Süße in der Frucht. Der Wein vereint Dichte, Länge und Charme, er verfügt über Volumen und trotzdem auch über Eleganz und Feinheit, wirkt noch lange nicht ausgereift.
