Domaine Ponsot : Clos de la Roche Grand cru "Cuvée Vieilles Vignes" 2015

An Essential Red Wine from Burgundy

The Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Ponsot is a Burgundy with a very special aura. The pride of the estate, this plot on the Morey Saint-Denis hillside has been planted with vines since the Middle Ages, yet takes its name from even older times, when druids used rocks known as "dolmens" for sacrificial rites. Of the Clos's 4 hectares, Domaine Ponsot owns 3.4.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2015 from Domaine Ponsot is a powerful wine with great elegance. The colour is clear and brilliant, while the nose opens on red fruit and spices. On the palate, the wine shows a very precise structure, with superb tannins, lovely acidity and fine touches of minerality. Domaine Ponsot produces wines of great quality which, though they may seem austere in their youth, reveal their full potential after several years of ageing. The Clos de la Roche 2015 is a perfect example: its potential is immense.
