2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes, Domaine Ponsot

2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes, Domaine Ponsot

This comes from the premier cru part of the Monts Luisants parcel. The domaine chooses not to use that name on the label to avoid confusion with their unusual and lauded Aligoté from there. The vines sit just above Clos de la Roche, and have the power you might expect.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée Allouettes offers darker fruit than the pair of Cortons tasted immediately before: finely delineated black plum, touches of tangerine and aniseed. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and gentle grip—but there is backbone here, more so than the aforementioned Grand Crus, with a dash of black pepper that enlivens the finish. Very appealing.
