Domaine Ponsot : Morey-Saint-Denis 1er cru "Cuvée des Alouettes" 2022

This lovely wine boasts an impressive combination of fresh blueberry and blackberry fruit aromas with a floral, peppery edge that the French would call ‘croquant’ (‘crunchy’). There is noticeably more tannic grip than in the village-level version, but also more sweetness to the fruit on the palate. The grapes come from 20-year-old vines planted north–south at the base of the Monts Luisants slope. This wine should begin to open three years after release and should drink well for at least 20 years.
