2017 | Laurent Ponsot | Griotte Chambertin Cuvee du Saule

Fascinating wine. The ripe and very expressive nose wafts from the glass in a mix of sappy black cherries black plums dark chocolate chalky soil tones grilled meats mustard seed and a bit of beetroot in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep full-bodied precise and impressively mineral in personality with a sappy core ripe tannins and fine balance and grip on the long tangy and complex finish. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• Jasper Morris: Glowing fresh mid purple. Superb grace to the nose magically juicy then a firmer backbone behind. Some crunch here only medium intensity a wine to judge by its class more than its size. The fruit is ripe.

• John Gilman: The ripe and very expressive nose wafts from the glass in a mix of sappy black cherries black plums dark chocolate chalky soil tones grilled meats mustard seed and a bit of beetroot in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep full-bodied precise and impressively mineral in personality with a sappy core ripe tannins and fine balance and grip on the long tangy and complex finish.

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.
