Laurent Ponsot Gevrey-Chambertin 2016

Laurent has again fashioned an outstandingly deep and powerful Gevrey, with lots of concentrated plummy fruit, meaty, animal complexity and sweet, round tannins. 

Outstanding. Unusually for a Ponsot wine there is a touch of menthol present on the more deeply pitched aromas of underbrush, warm earth, the sauvage and dark currant aromas.

There is both fine definition and underlying tension to the delicious and attractively textured flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the dusty and youthfully austere finale. This is also quite good for its appellation and worth considering.
