Description

Domaine Ponsot is one of the most respected producers in Burgundy and has a great track record of innovation, being one of the first to practise estate bottling in the 1930s. This is their top cuvée, which hails from a 3.3-hectare plot in the Grand Cru ‘Clos de la Roche’. The 2005 vintage stands out as exceptional for Burgundy, and the availability of remaining wines on the market is gradually diminishing.

About this wine

The 1999 vintage of the Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes by Domaine Ponsot is a benchmark expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy's esteemed Clos de la Roche Grand Cru vineyard. Produced from vines that are notably old, this vintage is celebrated for its depth, structure, and the exquisite balance between fruit purity and tertiary complexity, evolving magnificently with age. Notes of ripe red berries, cherries, forest floor, and a hint of spice, with a full-bodied palate that softens with age, revealing layers of complexity and a lingering, velvety finish. Not specified, but Domaine Ponsot's wines are highly acclaimed and sought after by connoisseurs.
