Morey St Denis, 1er Cru, Cuvée des Alouettes, 2017

The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée Allouette is the twin of the Montluisants Blanc from the bottom part of that vineyard. There are plenty of red cherries and cassis scents on the nose, which just needs a little more terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and slightly chalky. On the final third of this wine, the terroir belatedly comes through with clarity. Fine.
