Tasting Notes

Domaine Ponsot, a venerable estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, has been producing wines that epitomize the essence of Burgundy since its establishment in 1872. The domaine is renowned for its dedication to traditional practices, including organic farming, indigenous yeast fermentation, and aging in old oak barrels, allowing the true character of the terroir to shine through.

The 'Cuvée des Alouettes' Premier Cru vineyard is uniquely positioned within the 'Clos des Monts Luisants', sharing a border with the illustrious Grand Cru Clos de la Roche. This proximity imparts a complexity and structure to the wines that is reminiscent of its Grand Cru neighbor. The vineyard's limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine's mineral backbone and elegance.

The 2014 vintage presents a wine of remarkable balance and depth. On the nose, it offers aromas of red berries, floral notes, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is refined, with a harmonious blend of fruit, acidity, and tannins, leading to a long, nuanced finish. This wine embodies the finesse and complexity characteristic of Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru wines.

Scores

93+ / 100

""The 2014 Cuvée des Alouettes from Monsieur Ponsot is very, very red fruity in personality this year, as it offers up a superb nose of cherries, beetroot, mustard seed, a complex base of soil, gamebird and a topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, transparent and very complex, with a sappy core of red fruit, fine soil signature and superb focus and grip on the long finish. Excellent juice""
- John Gilman

92 / 100

""The 2014 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Allouettes has an introspective bouquet. There is something "steely" about this: cold metal, copper piping underneath the transparent red berry fruit. The palate is quite harmonious on the entry. 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.""
- Neal Martin

92 / 100

""A slightly riper and more complex nose presents notes of red currant, floral, spice and notably earthy aromas. The energetic, punchy and well-delineated flavors culminate in a lightly mineral-inflected, delicious and well-balanced finale. This moderately firm effort should be drinkable after only 6 to 8 years if desired.""
- Allen Meadows
