Domaine des Monts Luisants is a small winery (3,4Ha) concentrated in a tiny epicenter amongst some of the most prestigious sites of the Côte de Nuits. Owner, Mr. Jean-Marc Dufouleur, is a traditional burgundy man and despite being a relatively young domaine (with its first harvest in 2000), Monts Luisants has quickly established itself as the ultimate "Boutique Winery" and is a reliable source of excellent quality wines that display a lush fruit palate during the first 10 years of ageing, and slowly evolving to offer secondary notes in the later years.
As Mr Dufouleur prefers to keep a low profile and focus on his wine making, one will not see too much marketing information or wine scores on the internet as Jean-Marc works diligently on his own and stores some library stocks from every single vintage. The whole vineyard is harvested in one day with 50 grape-pickers to control the ripeness of these fruits accurately and 100% whole bunch is used with no destemming. The flagship wine of Domaine des Monts Luisant is his Premier Cru of the same name. Hence, in this offer, we are proud to offer the highly recommended Les Monts Luisants 1er Cru starting with his first vintage of 2000.
