Domaine Ponsot Grand Cru Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes 2023

Domaine Ponsot Grand Cru Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes is the domaine's flagship, drawn largely from the original walled Clos.

Clos de la Roche is the largest Grand Cru of Morey-Saint-Denis, and its boundaries were extended in the 1950s to take in neighbouring sites such as Les Fremières, Les Genevrières, Les Mochamps and Monts Luisants. The original 4.5-hectare Clos is widely held to be the finest part, and Domaine Ponsot owns more than three hectares of it, making the family by far the largest holder in the appellation. The rest of their holding lies in Monts Luisants, higher on the slope on the same soils, which has always been bottled as Clos de la Roche and lends freshness to the natural power of the original Clos. The vines average close to seventy years. Terroir, vine age, plant material and farming are impossible to separate here, but together they make one of the great reds of Burgundy.

Built for the long haul and worth a decade or more; decant if opening early. Serve at 16-18°C with roast venison, hare or aged hard cheese.
