Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Ponsot is a family-run wine producer with most of its holdings in grand cru and premier cru vineyards. The estate was established by William Ponsot in 1872 and is now run by his descendant Rose-Marie Ponsot since 2017. Clos de la Roche is their top cuvée made from vines that are over 65 years old. The wine is fermented on indigenous yeast and aged for 18 months in oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered.

The 1999 Clos de la Roche Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a generous nose: a mélange of red and black fruit, wild mint and Provençal herbs. There's good depth with a licorice hint emerging with aeration, though it politely remains in the background. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, demonstrating a little more grip than the 2005, that licorice trait emanating from the warmth of that summer coming through on the mid-palate. Stocky, like many 1999s, yet with ample freshness, though I might be seeking more rondeur on the finish. Drinking perfectly now, though it will keep for at least another decade. Tasted at Ponsot's 150th anniversary vertical at the Domaine. Neal Martin1st May 2023

Domaine Ponsot

Burgundian Pioneers

An estate that looms large in the mythology of Burgundy. Domaine Ponsot were early adopters of the practice of estate-bottling in the 1930s and also pioneered research into clonal selection - a key aspect of modern viticulture. Up until 2017, the domaine was under the stewardship of Laurent Ponsot, who did much to promote his family's wines. Laurent took what he saw as the best of organic and biodynamic practices without ever pursuing formal certification. On paper, the approach in the winery seems almost spartan - no sorting table at the cellar, fermentation is proceeds according to the whims of the native yeasts, absolutely no new wood is used during maturation and bottling takes place in line with a particular lunar phase.

While this approach might seem esoteric, the high quality of the wines and the praise they receive is universal. The Grand Cru wines are some of the finest in the Côte d'Or - concentrated, powerful and intense, all made with fruit from 50+ year vines. While Laurent may have moved on, his sister Rose-Marie has continued to maintain quality as sole proprietor of Domaine Ponsot.
