Clos De La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Ponsot, 2021

Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a striking expression of old-vine Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated grand cru sites. Sourced from deeply rooted, mature vines and crafted by one of the region’s most respected domaines, it combines precision, depth and the kind of mineral drive that has made Clos de la Roche a benchmark for serious collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a refined ruby-garnet color with impressive brightness. The nose is layered and detailed, offering red and black cherry, wild berries, rose petals, earthy spice, forest floor and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is poised and structured, with silky but firm tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, focused finish. The old-vine fruit gives extra concentration and complexity, while the grand cru terroir adds tension, depth and persistence. This is a wine built for cellaring and should develop beautifully over many years, gaining truffle, leather and savory nuances with age.

Production
Produced from Vieilles Vignes in the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, this wine comes from one of the most admired limestone-based terroirs in the Côte de Nuits, where Pinot Noir can achieve exceptional finesse and intensity. Domaine Ponsot is known for meticulous vineyard work and a restrained, terroir-driven approach in the cellar, allowing the character of the site and the old vines to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, veal, mushroom risotto or truffle-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended when young to help the wine open up, though a gentle decant is preferable to preserve its subtle aromatic detail.
