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 finest plots of Chardonnay are located 260 metres above sea level, in the legendary Premier Cru terroir of Meursault. The ideal exposure to the east combined with the soil, mostly consisting of clay and limestone, provide the vines with all the nutrients and energy they require to thrive. The cuvée is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from six different plots. The cuvée is vinified in the purest Burgundy tradition, with minimal intervention and oenological additives. Lastly, the wine is slowly matured in casks for several months before bottling.
The bright, clear yellow-gold colour reveals an expressive nose, with fragrances of yellow fruit sublimated by lightly woody notes. The elegant and generous palate affirms the aromas of the nose while building to an incredibly fresh and light finish.
