Vinous Tasting Note

The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée Allouettes was cropped at just 8hL/ha and had only finished its malo before my visit. Nevertheless, this has a harmonious and engaging bouquet, very pure with black cherries, raspberry confit and sous-bois . The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, cohesive and gently gripping in the mouth. Maybe another vintage would have bestowed more tension and precision on the finish? Yet it remains an engaging and classy Morey.

It is said that the Ponsot family was among the first to bottle its entire production at the estate, a bold practice for the time. The Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru and the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Cuvée des Alouettes complete this prestigious range, a reflection of the house's unique expertise. An essential signature.
