Morey-Saint-Denis, 1er Cru, Les Monts Luisants, 2006
A distinguished parcel immediately adjacent to Clos de la Roche, on the Gevrey side of Morey-St.-Denis. At the same elevation (270-300 metres) and composed of a similar mix of clay and limestone rock scree as its more famous neighbor to the south, the fruit here always has an inherent lushness to it that clearly identifies it as Morey even though the austerity which frequently marks Gevrey lies just a stones throw away.
Tasting notes from Grand Jour de Bourgogne, March 11, 2008
Smoky (almost Côte Rôtie-like). Sweet cherry & cassis fruit. Lovely structure. Incredible concentration. Soft, supple & approachable tannin. Black fruits and violet. Lush & full-bodied with notes of earth and terroir weaving in & out.
