Laurent Ponsot, a wine-trading business run with passion in Burgundy, also cultivates seven hectares of vines in some of the region’s finest appellations. Convinced that quality raw materials are key to producing great wines, Laurent Ponsot collaborates with producers committed to cultivating their vines with the utmost respect for the land and biodiversity. The objective is to allow the terroir to express all its qualities through each vine. In the winery, the estate combines traditional Burgundian expertise with the latest technology to produce wines in a more sustainable approach. Vinification involves minimal intervention and sulphur is added in minute quantities. Whether the domain dons its merchant or winemaker cap, the ethos stays the same: to unveil all the characteristics and aromas of the terroir through each and every vintage.

The emblematic Vosne-Romanée appellation is named after the Gallic word ‘vaona’, meaning ‘water’. Indeed, a major water source supplies this exceptional terroir and all the surrounding villages. The word ‘Romanée’, meanwhile, refers to the Romans who first brought and developed vines in Burgundy. While it is not certified, the estate nurtures its Pinot Noir vines with the utmost care, free from any chemical additives, to produce a high standard cuvée offering concentration and authenticity.
The slightly shiny, ruddy colour with purple reflections reveals an intensely expressive nose, marked by heady scents of red fruit, complemented by subtle hints of spice. On the palate, the fine tannins are perfectly integrated within a silky texture, sublimated by the delicious aromas of the nose, leading to a persistent, slightly smoky finish. This cuvée promises exceptional ageing potential.
