Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is a legendary wine region in eastern France.<\/p>\n
Most of the red wines are made from pinot noir grapes and white from chardonnay grapes.<\/p>\n
Burgundy has a higher number of AOCs than any other French region, often seen as the most terroir conscious. The various AOCs are classified from grand cru vineyards down to non-specific regional appellations.<\/p>\n
Chablis is the furthest north-region and produces some of the greatest whites.<\/p>\n
Further south lies the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or, split into C\u00f4te de Nuits, home to many of the world\u2019s finest Pinot Noir wines, and C\u00f4te de Beaune where Chardonnay plays a more prominent role, though outstanding red and white are produced throughout.<\/p>\n
And South is the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise and the Maconnais.<\/p>\n

Domaine Ponsot is a family-owned wine producer in Burgundy since 1872.<\/p>\n
The winery is known for its red and white wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is also well-known for the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Clos des Monts Luisants, the only 100-percent Aligot\u00e9 premier cru wine in Burgundy.<\/p>\n
Most of the domaine’s holdings are in grand cru and premier cru vineyards, and Ponsot makes wines from such famous vineyards as Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot and Corton.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“Opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, strawberries and raspberries mingled with peonies and licorice, Ponsot’s 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a broad attack that segues into a deep, concentrated mid-palate framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. This has turned out very well indeed.” – Wine Advocate, 95 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n “The Chapelle-Chambertin is permitted a slightly longer vinification at slightly lower temperatures than the other re wines. It is the first to eb picked and the last to be decanted out of the fermentation vats. It has paid dividends this year. The colour offers a wealth of exuberant deep purple. The nose too is joyous, making an immediate statement of ripe but delightful deep raspberry and succulent strawberry fruit. There is a wealth of fruit right across the palate then this same strong mineral acidity to finish. The fruit seems to darken (in a good way) in the glass. This is going to be pretty special.” – Jasper Morris, 97 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape<\/strong>: 100% Pinot Noir<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
