Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvee des Alouettes Premier Cru 2016

The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuv?e des Alouettes offers up lovely aromas of red plums, rose petals and candied peel that mingle with incipient savory nuances of grilled squab and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive, with excellent concentration, fine-grained and chalky tannins, and above all a bright, vibrant quality that lends this Morey fabulous definition. It will need some time, as it's much more tight-knit than the Morey village.
