2014 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes, Domaine Ponsot

2014 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes, Domaine Ponsot

Domaine Ponsot is one of the defining estates of Morey Saint Denis. Their Clos de la Roche is an iconic wine in Burgundy circles. This cuvée comes from the premier cru part of the Monts Luisants parcel which sit just above Clos de la Roche, and it shares some of the grand cru’s muscular power and tension. The 2014 was made by Laurent Ponsot, well before his departure from the domaine, during his purple patch.

Tasting notes

There is a taut line of acidity here, clean and crisp, very linear with touches of bitter cherry towards the finish. There is something "moody" about this Morey-Saint-Denis, which may well be its way of saying that it needs to be cellared for 3-5 years.
