93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Ray Walker really made lovely 2010s and I do miss the days when journalists were allowed into the cellars to taste here, as I have lost track of what is going on in recent times. In any event, this bottle of 2010 Monts Luisants is really very lovely, though was still a bit too young for primetime drinking when I had it a year ago. The bouquet is deep and pure, offering up a youthfully complex nose of cherries, blood orange, beetroot, a lovely base of soil tones, incipient notes of gamebird and a topnote of thyme and tarragon. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully focused, with a sappy core of fruit, fine soil inflection, suave tannins and a very long, vibrant finish. A very classy Morey premier cru from this great vintage. 2017-2040. (Jan/Feb 2015)"
Situated just above Grand Cru Clos de la Roche, on a roughly 26% grade, this vineyard is one of the steepest in the region. Only one vineyard, 1er Cru "Les Genavrières", separates "Les Monts Luisants" from "Les Chaffots". A good portion of this vineyard was consumed by the expanding limits of Clos de la Roche. The soil here is heavily based on oolitic limestone, with rigid pebbles found throughout. The soil here is thin, well drained and fine. The average vine age here is over 45 years.
