Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes - 2009 (750ml)

The 2009 Morey St. Denis Cuvee des Alouettes is hard to evaluate. Both barrels I tasted presented woody, rough tannins that marred much of the purity of the fruit. Perhaps the wine is in an awkward stage, but today it is not showing well. The Cuvee des Alouettes is made from vines in Monts Luisants. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.
