Burghound, January 2019, Score: 90-93
Here too discreet but not invisible wood frames spicy aromas of dark cherry, plum, tea and pretty floral wisps. There is good intensity to the sleek, delicious and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess the best mid-palate density of the entire range, all wrapped in a mildly tangy but not drying finish that also offers the best length in the range as well. Drink 2032+

Jancis Robinson, February 2020, Score: 18.5
Cranberry and raspberry with vibrant intensity. Very firm tannins. Powerful, stately – a grand mansion of a wine. Finishes with leather and violet. Likely to be very long lived. Packs a punch. (RH) 12.5%. Drink 2023 – 2047
Producer
Laurent Ponsot
Laurent Ponsot is one of Burgundy’s most internationally renowned winemakers. In 2017 he formally left his family domaine in Morey St Denis, and struck out on his own with a new winemaking facility in Gilly-lès- Cîteaux from where he now runs his solo project, started in 2015, full-time. He had been instrumental in Domaine Ponsot’s rise to fame, and had built a reputation as a maverick winemaker with his unique style that combined late harvesting, destemming, and complete aversion to new oak in the cellar. His wines are concentrated and long lived, and have won him admirers the world over. He is a passionate campaigner and prominent activist in the fight against fake wine on the secondary market. Having left his family domaine in the hands of his sisters, Laurent is joined by his son, Clément, at his new project, and together they are continuing to make their hugely exciting wines. Much of the fruit comes from his share of the family vineyards that remained with him after his departure, whilst the new project has given him the opportunity to explore new appellations.
Region
Clos Saint-Denis
Tucked between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, and sharing the same stratum of limestone, Morey-St-Denis is unfairly less celebrated than its better known neighbours. It boasts five Grand Crus, including Clos-St-Denis. Slightly lighter than Clos-de-la-Roche, Clos Saint-Denis' wines balance delicacy, finesse and wonderful Pinot fruit - the quintessential Grand Cru of Morey-St-Denis.
