Description
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 2013 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.
