Domaine Ponsot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2023

Imperial purple, vibrant. There is not a lot of nose to begin with as this great wine bides its time. It comes across in multiple layers, berries that taste of perfect ripeness with just one or two darker notes creeping in, though the structure has maintained considerable freshness. Raspberries predominate and they appear in multiple waves. Gloriously balanced, with the right intensity and no feeling of the sunshine nor of being picked too late. The flavours stay in the mouth. Drink from 2035-2045. Tasted Nov 2024. Score – 95-97. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Jan. 2025)
