Domaine Ponsot Description
The color is very full, with an assertive tone (bright ruby, carmine, intense garnet) with purplish reflections. The bouquet is divided between black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry) and red stone fruits (cherry). It has variations such as sloe, bramble, violet, carnation, licorice, brandy fruits. Strong and structured, this wine awaits you on the palate with a firm footing. The right balance between the strength of the body and the expression of the fruit.
Decanter: 94 Points
Cuvée Les Alouettes is one of four wines that Domaine Ponsot sources from its holdings in Monts Luisants, sourced from a parcel with more top soil in the middle of the slope. Showing subtle reduction and commendable freshness for a wine with 14% alcohol, it's chalky, bright and well-balanced, with a core of red cherry fruit and tany, supporting acidity.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
A touch of youthful reduction dissipates as the 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes opens in the glass, revealing aromas of rich berry fruits, smoked meats, spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, it's bright and lively, with an elegantly muscular core of fruit that largely conceals the wine's fine structuring tannins.
Burghound: 91 Points
Here the expressive nose offers up a pretty array of violet, pomegranate and red cherry liqueur trimmed in very subtle hints of earth and volatile acidity. There is again very good richness to the more finely detailed and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess better complexity and length on the similarly rustic finish.
