Domaine Ponsot Bourgogne Cuvee du Pinson 2017

Domaine Ponsot is an atypical but outstanding domaine in Morey St Denis. Their combination of late picking, destemming, and ageing in old oak barrels achieve the domaine’s distinctive style of long lived wines. Laurent Ponsot left the domaine in 2017, and the estate is now run by his sister, Rose Marie Ponsot. Alexandre Abel has joined the team as régisseur, and together they continue to uphold these three principles of the estate. Furthermore, they are not afraid to experiment, and are always evolving the viticulture and winemaking style with small innovations.

This is taken from a plot just below the Route Nationale in Chambolle, and it’s absolutely delicious. Crunchy berries, that fill the mouth with juice, and a salty, moreish finish, make a wine you’ll just want to drink.
