Clos De La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Ponsot, 2023

Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a compelling expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs, made from old vines that naturally deliver remarkable concentration and depth. Domaine Ponsot is renowned for crafting wines of precision, purity, and longevity, and this Grand Cru sits firmly among the estate’s most prestigious bottlings.

Tasting Notes
Expect a refined, deeply colored red Burgundy with lifted aromatics and a layered, nuanced profile. The nose typically leans toward dark cherry, raspberry, forest floor, spice, and subtle floral notes, while the palate offers a combination of power and finesse, with fine-grained tannins, mineral tension, and a long, savory finish. In a great vintage and from mature vines, this wine has the structure and energy to age gracefully for many years, developing additional complexity with time in bottle. Its balance of fruit, acidity, and terroir-driven minerality suggests excellent cellaring potential.

Production
Clos de la Roche is a renowned Grand Cru site in Morey-Saint-Denis, where stony soils and excellent drainage contribute to the wine’s firm structure and mineral backbone. The Vieilles Vignes selection emphasizes fruit from older vines, which often yields smaller berries and greater aromatic intensity. Domaine Ponsot is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful vinification aimed at preserving purity and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with elegant dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, mushroom-based cuisine, or beef tenderloin with a rich sauce. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for about 1–2 hours if the wine is young, allowing its aromas and structure to open fully.

Producer
Domaine Ponsot is a highly respected Burgundy producer with a long-standing reputation for producing some of the region’s most expressive and ageworthy wines. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis, the domaine has built its name on precision, consistency, and a deep commitment to terroir, with Grand Cru holdings that are admired by collectors worldwide.
