Domaine Ponsot Clos De La Roche Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017 1500ml

Domaine Ponsot has been synonymous with Clos de la Roche for generations, and its Vieilles Vignes cuvée from old vines in this Morey-Saint-Denis grand cru is the estate's flagship. Aged without new oak, it is all about precision and transparency, and the 2017, harvested in the first half of September, shows that approach beautifully. Decanter found it fine, elegant and floral, with a sweet core of raspberry and wild strawberry. Wine Advocate called it "a brilliant wine from Domaine Ponsot," noting plums, cassis, orange rind, peonies and velvety tannins on a full-bodied, layered palate. In magnum, it should age gracefully through 2040.
