Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives 2022

Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives comes from a 0.35-hectare plot at the very top of the Morey slope, first harvested by the family in 1872.

A grive is a thrush, and this is one of the Ponsot family's foundational wines. The parcel sits directly behind the domaine's Petit Château in the village-designated section of Monts Luisants, immediately above the premier cru part of the same climat; the vineyard is unusual in spanning village, premier cru and, in its upper reaches within Clos de la Roche, Grand Cru land. At 350 metres the site is high for the Côte de Nuits, where most village vineyards lie a good 150 metres lower, and the soil is extremely rocky, covered with Comblanchien limestone scree. Shade and cool air drifting down from the forest lengthen the ripening period. The wine matured for fourteen months in old barrels averaging twenty years of age.

Perfumed and savoury rather than powerful, it drinks from three years and holds well; try it with duck, mushrooms or roast pork. Serve at 16 to 18°C.
