Laurent Ponsot - Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru - Cuvee du Cedre

DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE

A blend of fruit from propitiously situated plots, sourced from six different growers, across the largest of all of Burgundy’s Grand Crus. Intentionally, some are prime real estate, directly behind the château; others, on the lower ebbs of the vineyard. Ponsot sees this as a balancing act. A wealth of black cherry, red currant and plum liqueur, framed by the Clos’ earthenware tannins. A wine that is consistently rated frumps by the world’s eminent Burgundy commentators, this will only grow in stature with extended patience.

He is joined in this new endeavor by his son, Clément, whose excitement for winemaking is as strong as his own. 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.
