Domaine Ponsot's Morey-Saint-Denis 'Cuvée des Grives' is a beautifully expressive village-level Pinot Noir that captures the soul of the Côte de Nuits. The cuvée owes its poetic name to the 'grives' (thrushes) that famously flock to the vineyards to feast on the sweet, ripe grapes just before harvest. Sourced from estate-owned parcels within Morey-Saint-Denis, this wine is crafted using the domaine's signature non-interventionist philosophy. Fermented in ancient oak casks without the use of new wood, temperature control, or added sulfur during vinification, it preserves a remarkably pure, wild, and untamed expression of terroir. The result is a wine of striking aromatic complexity, showing vibrant red berries, forest floor, and spice, framed by the structure and rustic elegance characteristic of Morey-Saint-Denis.

Founded in 1872 by William Ponsot, Domaine Ponsot is a legendary estate located in Morey-Saint-Denis, within the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, France. Today, the domaine is celebrated for its uncompromising, traditional approach to winemaking, which eschews new oak in favor of seasoned barrels and avoids temperature control or sulfur additions during vinification. The estate is particularly renowned for its exceptional Grand Cru holdings, most notably its iconic Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes, which yields profound, long-lived Pinot Noir. Under the stewardship of the Ponsot family, the winery continues to craft deeply expressive, terroir-driven red and white wines that remain benchmarks of Burgundian excellence.
