Tasting notes
The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives bursts with aromas of sweet spices, cherries, berries and coniferous forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent acids, with fine tannins and a juicy core of fruit. Of all Ponsot's wines, this is predictably the best adapted to near-term consumption.

(production here was a full 48 hectoliters per hectare): Bright medium red. Aromas of raspberry, rose petal and minerals display a lovely light touch. Juicy, spicy, energetic village wine with excellent cut. A wine of modest flesh but sappy, fruity and pristine. The persistent finish shows firm-edged tannins.
