Dom. Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, Morey-Saint-Denis, 2015 Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Jean-Marie Ponsot, was born in 1927 and served as the long-time mayor of Morey-Saint-Denis. He started working for his father in 1947 and took over full responsibility in 1957. His son, Laurent, has been in charge of winemaking since 1983. The estate owns 8.73 hectares of vineyards, including the famous 3.35 hectares of the Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru vineyard, which is the Ponsot family's pride and joy. The Ponsots are the largest landowners in Clos-de-la-Roche and their version is said to have a certain special something about it, a certain power and intensity, which are not found in other producers' interpretations of Clos-de-la-Roche. The Ponsots were among the first domaines in Burgundy to do estate bottling, in 1934, and were also amongst the first growers to understand the importance of clonal selection in the early 1960s. This wine is a red wine, suitable for both men and women.
