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.

A leading appellation of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuit, the Chambolle-Musigny terroir is home to more than twenty Premier Crus, all renowned for their spellbinding sensuality. The Pinot Noir vines growing in Les Sentiers are no exception to the rule. The name Sentiers refers to the many footpaths once used to reach the vineyards. The parcels are cultivated in a healthy and precise manner, with the greatest respect for the environment and without any chemical fertilisers.
The bright red colour, enhanced by shimmering, luminous glints, reveals an exquisite bouquet of violet and red berry aromas. The rich, complex palate displays remarkable delicacy and finely silky tannins that enliven the long, refreshing, fruity finish. This flavoursome red wine is sure to impress Burgundy wine lovers even more after ten years in the cellar.
