Tasting notes
The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives is very pretty this vintage, offering up lovely aromas of sweet red cherry, strawberry and peony. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fine-grained and silky textured, with an expansive attack and notable structural amplitude. This is classic Ponsot.

Healthy medium red. Expressive aromas of raspberry and spices. Very ripe but not overripe, with its flavors of red berries, soil, spices and mocha showing captivating sweetness leavened by well-integrated acidity. Very 2015 in its smooth texture but with noteworthy energy too.
This too is ripe but fresh with more complex aromas of sauvage and earth-inflected red and dark currant scents. There is a notably finer mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that deliver solid depth and length for a villages level wine.
