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.

This Chambolle-Musigny is exceptionally aptly named after its climat (distinct vineyard site, with its own unique microclimate and terroir, producing), thanks to its delicate, floral style. Originally, ‘Les Charmes’ was the name given to a piece of wasteland where a few copses of hornbeam grew. Today, the Pinot Noir vines, ideally facing south-west, climb on the clay-limestone soils. Each stage of the process, both in the vineyard and in the winery, is conducted rigorously, with as little intervention as possible, to allow the Chambolle-Musigny terroir to express its personality as naturally as possible.
The elegant ruby colour is accented by bright reflections. The bouquet offers a heavenly range of aromas, marked by scents of rose, violet, raspberry and blood orange. The subtly full-bodied palate reveals a superb breadth where smooth tannins lead to a pure, fragrant finish. This wine promises long, delicious ageing potential.
