Clos De La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Ponsot, 2022

Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most revered red-grape sites, crafted from old vines for exceptional depth, concentration, and finesse. Domaine Ponsot’s reputation for precision and consistency makes this a standout Grand Cru for collectors seeking a wine with both immediate allure and long-term pedigree.

Tasting Notes
At first glance, the wine typically shows a deep, luminous ruby hue, often with the refined transparency that signals great Burgundy rather than brute force. On the nose, expect a layered bouquet of dark cherries, wild berries, rose petal, forest floor, and subtle spice, with the old-vine fruit lending extra nuance and intensity. On the palate, Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes is usually defined by its fine structure, polished tannins, and a vivid mineral line that gives the wine drive and precision. The finish should be long and resonant, with fruit, spice, and earthy complexity unfolding over time. As a Grand Cru from old vines, it has excellent aging potential and is likely to reward patience for many years, developing greater tertiary complexity with cellaring.

Production
Sourced from old vines in Clos de la Roche, one of the flagship Grand Cru climats of the Côte de Nuits, the wine benefits from the limestone-rich, stony soils that help shape its signature minerality and tension. Domaine Ponsot is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful harvesting to preserve fruit purity and balance, with vinification aimed at expressing site character rather than excessive extraction.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for refined dishes such as roast duck, veal tenderloin, game birds, mushroom risotto, or lamb with herbs. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
