2019 | Laurent Ponsot | Corton Charlemagne Cuvee du Kalimeris

Elegant wine. This is a classic wine, with substantial extract balanced by impressive freshness, giving a very clean impression. A dense and muscular wine, where oak spice and buttery, creamy aromas do not distract from the beautifully transparent essence. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• Decanter: Produced with grapes from six suppliers that span the villages of Pernand, Ladoix, and Aloxe, and parcels that go from the bottom of the slope to the top. Although a bit closed initially, the aromas open up with mineral and white flower notes on the palate. This is a classic wine, with substantial extract balanced by impressive freshness, giving a very clean impression. A dense and muscular wine, where oak spice and buttery, creamy aromas do not distract from the beautifully transparent essence.

• Allen Meadows: Here too there is a subtle application of wood framing the equally cool and restrained aromas of green apple and a plenitude of citrus elements. The succulent, round and utterly delicious larger-scaled flavors exude evident minerality on the caressing but impressively powerful, firm, youthfully austere and strikingly long finish. There is a touch of warmth.

Producer Information

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.
