Ponsot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvee des Alouettes 2013

Laurent Ponsot has been described by some wine critics as a maverick due to his tendency to harvest as late as possible in order to obtain the maximum ripeness of fruit. Since 1999, Laurent has been on a mission to further augment the quality of his wines, and those that have tasted each vintage since then will confirm the noticeable quantum leap in the quality, complexity, and balance in his wines. Domaine Ponsot, situated at the top of the hill overlooking the village of Morey Saint Denis, has the largest parcel of Clos de la Roche grand cru where most of his vines are fifty plus years old. He also produces miniscule quantities of the outstanding Clos Saint Denis from vines of more than 100 years old.

The 2013 vintage was characterized by a cooler growing season, which allowed for a slower ripening process and the development of nuanced flavors. This particular cuvée is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in Premier Cru vineyards.

In the glass, the Ponsot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2013 reveals a beautiful ruby red color, hinting at its elegance and complexity. On the nose, you will be greeted by a bouquet of red berries, such as raspberries and red currants, along with floral notes and a touch of spice. As you take your first sip, the palate is enveloped in layers of flavors. The wine displays the classic characteristics of Pinot Noir, with bright red fruit flavors complemented by hints of earthiness and subtle oak. The tannins are refined, providing structure and balance, while the acidity adds freshness and vibrancy.

Tasting notes:
91-93 points Burghound
"This is more complex still if only just with a slightly less elegant array of red and blue fruit scents that include pomegranate, plum, blue berry, earth and a hint of exotic tea. The sleekly muscular middle weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the delicious, intense, well-detailed and powerful finish that delivers excellent persistence. This could accurately be described as a mini Clos de la Roche and should amply repay extended cellaring, indeed it will need at least 6 to 8 years first."

Laurent Ponsot被一些葡萄酒評論家描述為一個特立獨行的人，因為他傾向於盡可能晚收穫，以獲取最大程度的成熟水果。從1999年開始，Laurent一直致力於提高他的葡萄酒質量，那些品嚐過自那時起每個年份的人都會確認他的葡萄酒在質量、複雜性和平衡方面的顯著飛躍。位於俯瞰Morey Saint Denis村莊的山頂上的Domaine Ponsot擁有最大的Clos de la Roche特級莊園，其中大部分葡萄藤有五十多年的樹齡。他也生產出數量極少但優秀的Clos Saint Denis，其葡萄藤年齡超過100年。

2013年的葡萄收穫季節氣候較為涼爽，這使得成熟過程緩慢，味道逐漸細膩。這款特別的酒款是由精心挑選的一級園葡萄藤釀造而成。

在玻璃杯中，Ponsot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2013呈現出美麗的紅寶石色，暗示著它的優雅和複雜性。在香氣上，您將感受到紅漿果的芳香，如覆盆子和紅醋栗，以及花香和一絲香料的味道。當您品嚐第一口時，口感充滿了層次的味道。這款葡萄酒展現了黑皮諾的經典特點，明亮的紅果風味中融合了一絲泥土氣息和微妙的橡木味。單寧細膩，提供了結構和平衡，而酸度則增添了新鮮感和活力。

"這款酒更加複雜，稍稍不如優雅，呈現出紅色和藍色水果的香氣，包括石榴、李子、藍莓、泥土和一絲奇特的茶香。中等身體的口感展現出了美味、濃鬱、細節豐富和強大的收尾，帶來了出色的持久性，並散發出一絲礦物質的細膩氛圍。需要6到8年的時間。
