A 2005 Morey 1er Cru from a small, lesser-known estate that bottles directly from the famous Monts Luisants parcel. Don't confuse this with Domaine Ponsot's iconic Clos des Monts Luisants white — Domaine des Monts Luisants is a separate 3.4-hectare Burgundy estate in Morey-Saint-Denis that makes a red Pinot Noir from grapes grown on the upper slopes of the same hill, well above the Grand Crus. The Monts Luisants vineyard sits on stony, well-drained soils with shallow clay over limestone; the cool elevation produces a Pinot that prizes lift and red-fruit perfume over weight. 2005 was a legendary Burgundy vintage — concentrated, structured, built for the long haul — and twenty years on, this bottle should be approaching or entering its drinking peak. A discovery wine for Morey collectors.
