Domaine Ponsot Grand Cru Chapelle Chambertin 2021
Drawn from a small parcel (0.47 hectares) of vines replanted in 1990, the first domaine bottling of this wine dates back to 1970. The vines are in the Gémeaux lieu-dit that borders Cherbaudes and En la Chapelle, which in turn borders En Griotte. The soils here are particularly poor and rocky, typically producing wines of great minerality and longevity. This cuvée now sees a longer time on skins but with a gentler extraction. It’s all the better for it.

“Ponsot’s wines are amongst the Côte’s finest… Truly a five-star domaine.” Remington Norman, The Great Domaines of Burgundy
