A special & incredibly rare white from the Côtes du Nuits! Personlity+++ The nuances of Burgundy's appellation system once again come into play when Ponsot secured a ruling allowing them to produce a 1er Cru white from the 1er Cru Monts Luisants vineyard from what was lambasted as a secondary grape variety by the AOC. This is unlike any other Aligoté I've tried.Where Aligoté is typical the favoured mixer with cassis to make the traditional Kir apperitif, Ponsot's ageworthy version demands
This wine comes from the 1er Cru section of Morey’s Monts Luisants vineyard, much of which is AOC Clos de la Roche today. Ponsot labels it Cuvée des Alouettes (alouette is a lark) to differentiate it from the white wine from this lieu-dit (1er Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc). This section of the vineyard is now ploughed by horse. The vines are between 23 and 30 years old and rooted in white oolite limestone, historically giving a deep, slow-to-unwind red Burgundy that becomes a vi

Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘La Perrière’ 2023

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Moderate floral influence can be found on the aromas of mostly red berries, earth and subtle spice wisps, especially crushed anise. The delicious middle weight flavors are rich to the point of succulence though this texture contrasts with the youthfully austere and moderately firm finale. This is very good but it's not necessarily more interesting than the old vines Gevrey cuvée.Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-92 Points"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perrière 1er Cru was done with 70% w

Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘La Perrière’ 2022

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Once again the nose is super-fresh and bright with its array of both red and dark berries, earth and a floral top note. The pliant, vibrant and utterly delicious middleweight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality that adds lift to the dusty, sleek and youthfully austere finish that delivers very good length.Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 PointsThe 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perrière ler Cru includes one-third whole bunches and 25% new oak.

A pure, elegant and attractively airy, even perfumed, nose reflects notes of mostly red cherry, spice and floral wisps. The punchy and super-sleek medium weight flavors also possess a striking mouthfeel with a more subtle bead of minerality, all wrapped in a balanced and impressively long finale. This is excellent with the development potential to match. ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 92-94 PointsThe Geverey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' sits next to the Grand Cr

More discreet wood influence more easily allows the elegant, and more floral, aromas of mostly dark pinot fruit to be enjoyed. The caressing but punchy medium weight flavors possess good mid-palate richness before terminating in a dusty, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is lovely and very Combottes in character, which is to say refined but with focused power.Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 PointsThe Geverey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' sits next to the Grand Cru Lat

Check out Burghound's review! Ponsot works a superb 0.6-hectare, old-vine parcel in this renowned vineyard with an average age of nearly 50 years. The site is planted at 12,000 vines per hectare. Ponsot’s vines are at the very top of the vineyard, in line with the top of Les Amoureuses and the bottom of LeMusigny. The outstanding quality of the wine reflects this remarkable terroir and also a remarkable, frost-affected year where the yields were tiny (12hl/ha!). The result is a blockbuster
A reserved but exceptionally elegant and wonderfully pure nose combines notes of plum, violet, spice, earth and a whiff of smoke. The sleek, refined and intense middle weight flavors are less powerful than the Morey 1er but notable finer, all wrapped in a balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a wine that should be approachable young but has the stuffing to age effortlessly.Allen Meadows, Burghound

Here too moderately generous wood surround the nose that is also relatively high-toned with its aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, various floral scents and soft spice nuances. The medium weight flavors possess a notably finer texture thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins that also support the long and mildly austere finish that is on the compact side today. I expect this to add flesh and unwind as it ages and as is often the case, this is the best of Lignier's 1ers in 2017.Burghound

"Here there is very good freshness to the cool and airy nose of essence of plum, earth, spice and a background application of wood. The lilting and lacy middle weight flavors possess a subtle underlying tension while the ever-so-slightly warm finish is shaped by very fine-grained tannins. This is an exercise in finesse as it is more refined than usual."Allen Meadows, Burghound

"The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes opens in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it's fleshy and enveloping, with a seductive, giving personality that belies its depth and concentration"William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
