(92 - 94 points) The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Monts Luisants Blanc is excellent, delivering scents of pear, freshly baked bread and citrus oil, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and chalky palate built around a...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, December 2021

(91-93 points) Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is refined and crystalline, not showing detail yet. This is beautiful in the mouth with swelling greengage fruit and a citrus twist, a fine long crystalline finish.

Produced by Domaine Dujac, this wine stands out in a vintage marked by hot and dry conditions. Despite these challenges, the wine has garnered high praise from multiple reviewers for its remarkable balance and aging potential.

Decanter awarded this wine an impressive score of 96 points, noting its unexpected vibrancy and minerality. They remarked, "This wine is not what you'd expect from such a hot and dry year, yet the concentration of the grapes concentrated the acidity, too, and the result is a wine of tension and power that should age exceptionally well." Decanter emphasized the wine's vibrant lemony fruit and pointed out that it is made from 100% Chardonnay, fermented in tank and aged in used casks.

Vinous, through reviewer Neal Martin, rated the wine at 91-93 points, commending its fresh and vibrant character. Martin described the wine's tightly-coiled bouquet with touches of "dew-speckled Granny Smiths and pressed white flowers," and mentioned its tangy, tangerine-tinged finish. He concluded by calling it "very impressive" and potentially the best among Domaine Dujac's whites for the year.

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy also gave a score of 91-93 points, calling the wine "refined and crystalline." Morris highlighted its pale lemon and lime color, greengage fruit, and a fine long crystalline finish.
