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.

Viticultural practices implemented in the Chardonnay vineyard are designed to respect the environment by reducing the use of chemicals to a minimum. The finest Chardonnay vines, nestling at an altitude of around 260 metres, benefit from a south-facing position, providing the ideal amount of sunshine for the grapes to ripen properly. The region’s ancient limestone and marl rocks contribute to the fruit’s character and distinctive aromas.
The elegant, bright colour reveals a bouquet especially typical of Meursault wines, characterised by intense aromas of grilled hazelnut, white peach and poached pear, complemented by subtle notes of acacia. On the palate, fine yellow fruit flavours mingle in a seductive texture, leading to a finish marked by hints of flint and lemon aromas. This 100% Chardonnay will reveal its finest, most elegant aromas in its youth.
