"Concentrated and forward, this is produced from a blend of grapes from the domaine's own vineyards and purchased fruit, mostly sourced in the Côte de Nuits. The result is quite successful, with bright, fresh, high-toned pomegranate and cherry aromas, plus a svelte purity on the palate that is not lacking a pleasant substance. Drinking Window 2021 - 2039"

"A ripe and very fresh nose speaks mostly of red berries and earth where the latter element is picked up by the sleek, delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors that flash good detail on the nicely complex, persistent and only mildly rustic finish. This is worth a look."

Attractive mid crimson. Very appealing fresh pinot notes, with some structure behind. The barrel has been well used here. Not an immediate wine but this should develop very well over three to five years.

About The Winery
After 36 years at Domaine Ponsot, Laurent Ponsot left the family domaine in February of 2017 to pursue a new wine adventure. He is joined in this new endeavor by his son, Clément, whose excitement for winemaking is as strong as his own, while his other two children, Claire and Nicolas, also hold shares in the company. Embodying his pioneering spirit, the company is named after Laurent himself who values humility, respects nature, and enjoys above all else the great pleasure of winemaking. Laurent's resolute quest for an alliance between history and innovation continues, and he will retain all of the fruits of his past research, such as the perfect closure, élevage without sulfur but under neutral gas, temperature-controlled 'intelligent cases', and the protection of authenticity. Through these innovations, his goal, as always, will be to provide consummate, authentic examples of great Burgundy wines.
