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 Chambertin Grand Cru appellation is renowned for its red wines that combine complexity, power and intensity. To preserve this distinctive character, the estate carefully cultivates its Pinot Noir vines to produce a ‘haute-couture’ cuvée. Each vine draws all the nutrients it requires to thrive from the limestone-rich soil. In the winery, the grapes are transported into a modern vat room, combining traditional expertise with the latest winemaking techniques. This process is performed in a traditional, low-intervention way to allow the Chambertin terroir and grape variety to express all their aromas naturally.
The purple colour reveals a concentrated bouquet characterised by intense aromas of blackberry and undergrowth. The luscious, rich mouthfeel offers remarkable depth, leading to a deliciously long, fruity finish. This 100% Pinot Noir offers excellent ageing potential.
