Clos De La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Domaine Ponsot - Magnum 1,5L, 2023

Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most revered sites, presented here in magnum format for added development and cellar presence. Made by one of the region’s most respected historic domaines, it combines pedigree, precision, and the depth that only old vines and a great Grand Cru vineyard can deliver.

Tasting Notes
This Grand Cru typically shows a deep, luminous ruby color in youth, with a refined but concentrated presence in the glass. The bouquet is often layered and complex, moving from dark cherry, wild strawberry, and blackberry to rose petal, forest floor, crushed stone, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is usually powerful yet finely etched, with vibrant acidity, silken tannins, and a long, mineral finish that reflects the Grand Cru terroir. With its structure and concentration, it is built for long aging and can evolve beautifully over decades, gaining more nuance, savory depth, and aromatic complexity with time.

Production
Clos de la Roche is one of the top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, known for its stony soils and naturally low yields, which help produce wines of remarkable intensity and mineral backbone. The Vieilles Vignes parcel highlights the depth and concentration that come from mature vines, while Domaine Ponsot’s careful vineyard work and cellar approach aim to preserve purity, site expression, and balance rather than overt extraction.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with refined dishes that can match its structure, such as roast duck, beef tenderloin, game birds, lamb, or mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours in its youth to help the aromatics unfold, especially in a magnum format where the wine may evolve more slowly and gracefully.

Producer
Domaine Ponsot is one of Burgundy’s most admired historic producers, with a reputation built on precision, longevity, and deep respect for terroir. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis and long associated with some of the Côte de Nuits’ greatest vineyards, the domaine has earned acclaim for wines that are distinctive, age-worthy, and true to place, making it a benchmark name among collectors and Burgundy lovers.
