    The fruit for this cuvée comes from the Premier Cru section of Monts Luisants, which sits just above Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. Ponsot have elected to name this wine Alouettes to prevent confusion with the Aligoté they produce from this same vineyard. The fresher climate associated with Monts Luisants is apparent in the perfumed, lifted nose of bright red cherries, white pepper, liquorice root and dried wild herbs. This is a lively and fresh Pinot in which rounded, vibrant red fruit flavours are held together by buoyant acidity and tannins that exhibit a firm, youthful chalkiness.

  • Neal Martin, November 2024, Score: 92-94

    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.

  • Jasper Morris MW, November 2024, Score: 92-94

    A bright mid purple, with altogether a much classier nose, with nothing to obfuscate. A mix of different berries, staying on the red side of the register, though slightly darker fruit appears on the palate. Still a very good acidity, but the fruit returns in volume behind. Kicks on impressively. This will need a little time but there is an excellent Cuvée des Alouettes in the making. Drink from 2031-2037.

Domaine Ponsot is an atypical but outstanding domaine in Morey St Denis. Their combination of late picking, destemming, and ageing in old oak barrels achieve the domaine’s distinctive style of long-lived wines. Laurent Ponsot left the domaine in 2017, and the estate is now run by his sister, Rose Marie Ponsot. Alexandre Abel has joined the team as régisseur, and together they continue to uphold these three principles of the estate. Furthermore, they are not afraid to experiment, and are always evolving the viticulture and winemaking style with small innovations. The estate has eschewed the fashion of using new oak barrels to age the wines, preferring seasoned casks which act as an “elevage” vessel rather than imparting barrel flavours. As Alexandre says “we want our wines to taste the maximum of the true fruit and terroir flavours that nature provides us with".Read less

Region

Morey Saint Denis

Morey St. Dénis often suffers from an identity crisis. They are more fruit forward than the wines of Gevrey Chambertin, yet more structured than those of Chambolle Musigny. It seems in this sensethat they are like middle children, always wanting to please yet not standing out as the noisy one or the notably quiet one. They are however crowd pleasers and for those who feel that Gevreys are too muscular and Chambolles too feminine; Moreys seem just right, offering velvety tannins and tangible fruit. The village offers five grand cru vineyards including Clos de la Roche, Clos St. Dénis and Clos des Lambrays which nonetheless can rival those of neighbouring villages in terms of quality (some even view them as the best in the Côte de Nuits) and various premier cru vineyards.
