Domaine Ponsot’s 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos des Monts Luisants 1er Cru Blanc shows Aligoté at its most serious and chiselled, layering gooseberry, green apple and stone fruit over a vivid spine of citrus and salty minerality. The absence of malolactic keeps the texture electric yet silky, with a compact, tense finish that promises impressive complexity with time in bottle. Expect this to evolve from racy and intense in youth into something deeper and more textural over the coming decades.

Domaine Ponsot’s Morey‑Saint‑Denis Clos des Monts Luisants Premier Cru Blanc is a rare Côte de Nuits white monopole made from 100% old‑vine Aligoté (most vines planted in 1911), producing very small volumes. Sited on shallow, limestone‑rich grèzes over oolitic and Dijon‑Corton calcareous soils, it’s winemaking‑led with whole‑cluster pressing and élevage in seasoned French oak to yield a mineral, nervy, ageworthy white with fine texture and chalky salinity.
