The Cuvée des Alouettes comes from the Premier Cru section of Morey’s Monts Luisants vineyard, much of which is AOC Clos de la Roche today. Ponsot labels it Cuvée des Alouettes (an alouette is a lark) to differentiate it from the white wine from this lieu-dit (Premier Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc). This section of the vineyard is now ploughed by horse. The vines are between 23 and 30 years old, rooted in white oolite limestone. This has historically given a deep, slow-to-unwind red Burgundy that becomes a vivid, flowing Chambolle-esque Premier Cru after 10 years in-bottle. Of course, with climate change, all bets are off, and we are seeing this terroir offer far more open, delicious, young expressions of Morey. Nonetheless, bordering Gevrey, it undoubtedly shows some of that village’s depth and structure.

Reviews

“The vines were planted in 1994 and 2003, but on 161/49 rootstock so they are having to take out some already. A vivid bright purple, with a slightly finer raspberry fruit than the village. Some tension through the middle, quite notable acidity once again, and fine length. When this settles down it will clearly be more graceful than the village wine. 7 barrels made. Drink from 2029-2037.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
“The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée Allouettes 1er Cru has quite a tertiary bouquet, touches of peppermint infusing the black fruit, a bit of blue fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and quite sapid. It tightens a little toward the finish, but otherwise, this has aging potential.” 92-94 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
