Laurent Ponsot

Meursault Charmes 1er Cru Cuvée de la Centaurée 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. In Burgundy, the word “Charmes” means fallow land, in the sense of stubble fields where a few thickets of “charme” or hornbeam might grow, these small rustic trees with hard wood being perfect for heating. Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between richness and acidity make this one of the great wines of Burgundy. It will go with almost any fine food without blushes.
