2021, Domaine Ponsot, MOREY-SAINT-DENIS, 'Cuvée des Grives'

The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives comes from shallow soils, the vines here are 16 years old. This possesses much more complexity and terroir expression on the nose than the Gevrey, sous-bois and truffle permeate the red fruit, with good vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and smooth with lightly spiced dark cherry and orange zest notes on the finish. Lovely. 89-91 Neal Martin, Vinous (2022).
