2022, Domaine Ponsot, MOREY-SAINT-DENIS, 'Cuvée des Grives'

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives is harvested late with the Aligoté as the vines are located high up on the slope. The attractive nose offers blackberry, raspberry, chalk and light oyster shell notes. The medium-bodied palate has a sapid entry, quite strict and linear. A more sinewy Morey-Saint-Denis that deserves bottle age. 89-91 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).

Just four barrels made, picked after the rest. A bright mid purple. The fruit is less flamboyant than the Gevrey but more nuanced as well. The fruit is sweeter and suaver on the palate, with the acidity well woven into the body of the wine. Good length, very promising. **** 90-92 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (2023).
