"The 2009 Monts Luisants Blanc was another of the very late malo wines in the Dujac cellars this year, but it was in a pretty good mood at the time of my visit and one could see that this will be a very good vintage for this wine. The nose is a ripe and pure blend of apples, oranges, white flowers, chalky minerality, a hint of vanillin oak and a nice, delicate topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and complex, with lovely focus, racy acids and very fine length and grip on the classy finish. A lovely bottle."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
