Aromas of citrus oil, confit lemon and freshly baked bread introduce the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, taut and inactive wine that's racy and concentrated, concluding with a long, mineral finish.
Bottled in June and Alexandre thinks that this particular wine needs a year post bottling to resurface. A pale lemon colour. The nose has a little waxiness, on top of fresh plums. You can smell the skins. Significant intensity on the palate, less acidity. This is a lovely wine but I think the 2021 may prove to have greater class. Dense and interesting, with medium length. Drink from 2025-2035.
