Vinous Tasting Note

The 2021 Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has exquisite delineation and focus on the nose, almost pixelated, very transparent yet with ample, vivacious red fruit that gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, nicely structured with a touch of sinew on the finish. Not the most precise Clos de la Roche from Ponsot in recent years, but very capable and with the density to suggest it will age long-term.

Founded in 1872, this estate has left its mark on the history of Burgundy wines. Today, driven by a passionate figure, Domaine Ponsot continues to elevate this exceptional terroir of the Côte de Nuits. Its wines are distinguished by a style that is both profound and mineral, a vibrant expression of the terroirs from which they originate. Among the flagship cuvées, we find the famous Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, an absolute benchmark, as well as the rare Clos des Monts Luisants Vieilles Vignes. The estate also excels in its interpretations of Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru and Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru. It is said that the Ponsot family was among the first to bottle its entire production at the estate, a bold practice for the time. The Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru and the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Cuvée des Alouettes complete this prestigious range, a reflection of the house's unique expertise. An essential signature. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 'Cuvée Vieilles Vignes', Domaine Ponsot Clos des Monts Luisants Vieilles Vignes, and Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
