Laurent Ponsot Cuvée de l’Aulne Gevrey-Chambertin 2019

As with the producer’s village-level Chambolle, this is a blend of grapes purchased from seven or eight growers, working across 10 to 12 parcels scattered throughout the village. The result is typical of good quality fruit from the village, with plenty of ripe cherry fruit, plus some earth and mineral nuance on the nose, along with a firm, tannic and somewhat reserved texture on the palate. Drinking window: 2021-2029. Score – 92. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Oct. 23, 2020)
