2024 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Monts-Luisants, Domaine Stéphane Magnien

This comes from a very different part of the village, much higher up the slope and along from the Grand Cru that is Clos de la Roche. Part of Mont Luisants is only classified as village wine, but this part is definitely worthy of its 1er Cru status. There is not much soil here and the mother rock is just below the sandy topsoil. The stoniness of the terroir really shines through and provides a real punch of mineral sapidity which ignites the palate a create a sense of rasping energy and compactness. Very promising. Drink from 2031
