Merchant's description

From Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy, Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Domaine Ponsot 2012 is a red wine showcasing the estate’s renowned capability. This Grand Cru comes from vines averaging 65 years old, harvested during a year noted for low yields and high concentration, resulting in an alcohol level of 13.5%. Domaine Ponsot, committed to traditional methods, opts for old oak barrels and minimal sulphur, utilising cold cellars and carbon dioxide for protection during vinification. The wine presents a complex profile featuring kirsch, dried rose petals, and a ferrous mineral underpinning, reflecting the distinctive character of the Clos de la Roche vineyard.
