Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru ‘Cuvée des Alouettes’ 2019

Burgundy Excellence in Every Sip

Crafted in the prestigious Morey-Saint-Denis appellation of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, this premier cru Pinot Noir from Domaine Ponsot showcases the elegance and complexity of the 2019 vintage. Sourced entirely from the Clos de Monts Luisants vineyard—though unlabeled to avoid confusion with their iconic white—this wine offers a harmonious blend of red and black fruits, layered with subtle spice and mineral undertones.
