Domaine Ponsot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos des Monts Luisants Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 2021

The white Clos des Monts Luisants is a riveting wine, one of the great successes of the 2021 vintage. Intensely concentrated and complex aromas range from green apple and gooseberry to tarragon and crème fraiche. The texture is lively, yet there is the breadth and chewiness to ensure that this will age well into the next decade. The vineyard of Aligoté was first planted in 1911; approximately 15% was replanted in 2006, but work continues, and the walls surrounding these ancient vines have recently been restored to ensure that this wine will continue to delight savvy wine lovers. Drinking window: 2025-2060. Score – 96. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Jan. 26, 2023)
