Laurent Ponsot

Vosne-Romane Cuvée du Cerisier 2018

Laurent Ponsot’s new company is a stage in a wide-ranging project that began four decades ago. In this different format, Laurent Ponsot continues to use his experience, his craftsmanship and his passion to serve the terroir of Burgundy. The company Laurent Ponsot is neither a “domain” nor a “maison”: it’s a state of mind. To create an exceptional wine is the equivalent of designing luxury goods. “Haute couture” is how we have decided to describe these incredible wines, like unique designer pieces, made even more glorious through our experience and craftsmanship. Vosne or Vaona comes from the Gallic word wadana meaning water (a large spring still supplies all the surrounding villages from Vosne-Romanée). Romanée refers to the people who brought wine to Burgundy – the Romans. An opulent, fleshy and spicy wine with marked tannins, Vosne-Romanée goes best with strongly flavoured meats with a well-defined texture which it can stand up to and complement.
