The Cuvée des Alouettes comes from the Premier Cru section of Morey’s Monts Luisants vineyard, much of which is AOC Grand Cru, (Clos de la Roche). 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. The 2023 is a first-rate example, bright, perfumed and flowing.

Reviews

“A bright mid purple, with altogether a much classier nose, with nothing to obfuscate. A mix of different berries, staying on the red side of the register, though slightly darker fruit appears on the palate. Still a very good acidity, but the fruit returns in volume behind. Kicks on impressively. This will need a little time but there is an excellent Cuvée des Alouettes in the making. Drink from 2031-2037.”
92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée Allouettes offers darker fruit than the pair of Cortons tasted immediately before: finely delineated black plum, touches of tangerine and aniseed. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and gentle grip—but there is backbone here, more so than the aforementioned Grand Crus, with a dash of black pepper that enlivens the finish. Very appealing.”
