✨ Technical Specifications
This exclusive assortment case from Domaine Ponsot brings together a magnificent library of Grand Cru red Burgundies spanning the highly acclaimed vintages of 2010 to 2015. Representing the pinnacle of the Côte de Nuits, these wines are sourced from legendary parcels such as Clos de la Roche and Clos Saint-Denis. Domaine Ponsot is celebrated for its fiercely traditional, non-interventionist philosophy. The estate eschews the use of new oak, preferring ancient, neutral barrels to allow the pure, unadorned voice of the terroir to speak. No sulfur is added during vinification, and temperature controls are avoided, resulting in deeply authentic, structurally complex Pinot Noirs. This collection offers a rare, comparative journey through a golden era of Burgundian vintages, showcasing the profound depth, wild berry character, and earthy complexity that define Ponsot's historic Grand Crus.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1872 by William Ponsot upon his return from the Franco-Prussian War, Domaine Ponsot stands as one of Morey-Saint-Denis’s most storied and fiercely individualistic estates. Under Hippolyte Ponsot, the domaine emerged as an early pioneer of estate bottling in the 1930s and played an instrumental role in codifying Burgundy's Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée system. Following Laurent Ponsot’s departure in 2017, the estate continues under the stewardship of Rose-Marie Ponsot and winemaker Alexandre Abel. Viticulture adheres to rigorous biological and non-interventionist principles across its historic terroirs, defined by Bathonian and Bajocian limestones blanketed in fossil-rich marl. In the cellar, tradition converges with uncompromising technique: low-sulfite regimes, fermentation in open-top wooden vats, and maturation in neutral oak barrels without new wood. Domaine Ponsot is celebrated for its monumental benchmark expressions, most prominently the profound Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes and the unique, ancient-vine Aligoté monopole Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Clos des Monts Luisants.
