Clos De La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Ponsot - Magnum 1,5L, 2021

Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a striking expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir in magnum format, offering both prestige and the promise of graceful development over time. Sourced from old vines in one of Morey-Saint-Denis’s most revered Grand Cru sites, it combines power, depth, and aromatic finesse in a way that has made Domaine Ponsot one of the region’s benchmark producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2021 shows the elegant transparency typical of great Burgundy, with a deep ruby hue and bright, lifted edges. The nose is expected to be highly nuanced, unfolding with red and dark cherry, wild strawberry, forest floor, rose petal, and subtle mineral and spice notes. On the palate, Clos de la Roche is known for its combination of concentration and precision, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The old vines add depth and structure, while the 2021 vintage should bring freshness, balance, and aromatic detail. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, capable of developing beautifully over 10-20 years or more, especially in magnum.

Production
Clos de la Roche is a Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, where stony, limestone-rich soils help produce Pinot Noir with impressive structure, fragrance, and longevity. Domaine Ponsot is known for meticulous vineyard work and careful harvesting of fully ripe grapes, particularly from old vines that naturally yield low quantities and concentrated fruit. Vinification is typically geared toward preserving purity and terroir expression, with thoughtful extraction and élevage that allow the wine’s complexity and mineral character to come through.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck, veal tenderloin, game birds, mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, or gently braised lamb. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if opening young, especially to allow its aromas and structure to fully open up.
