Laurent PonsotClos De Vougeot Cuvée Du Cèdre 2018
About this product
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. Founded circa 1110 by the nearby Cîteaux Abbey, Clos de Vougeot represents the essence of Burgundy. This 50 hectare block of vines has been surrounded by the same stone walls for five centuries. Its wine is one of the flagship red Grands Crus.

A well-layered blend is composed by notes of both red and blue pinot fruit along with earth, sauvage and underbrush nuances. The middle weight flavors aren't especially concentrated though they are relatively fine with good detail on the dusty and again mildly drying finish. I would again observe that the dryness does not appear to be fatal and I suspect that this will successfully age out.
