DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A blend of four parcels worked as a joint venture since 2009. Dark fruits on the nose with Pinot lift and great intensity and purity. Very ripe with no trace of jamminess, while firm tannins give grip and structure. Very assertive now but has great energy and drive. A wine of great splendour and potential.
This is one of the four most-recent Grand Crus in the Ponsot line up. The fruit comes from 3 small parcels, though Laurent was not disposed to reveal their exact location. Perhaps reflecting Laurent's aversion to most Corton Rouge, which he suggests, with a smile, lacks elegance and typically"...makes a good alternative to Châteauneuf-du-Pape..." this cuvée is quite unlike any Corton we have tried. It has an energy and purity that is a delight to drink. The name means 'cuvée of the bumblebee.
