Description

Red Wine: 2019 | Laurent Ponsot | Chambolle Musigny Les Sentiers du Sorbier

Elegant wine. A riper nose offers up notes of plum liqueur, violet and spice along with a mentholated top note. The delicious, caressing and more obviously mineral-driven medium weight flavors possess a taut muscularity and evident powerful on the firmer and impressively long finish. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• Decanter: At the northern border of Chambolle, across the road from Bonnes-Mares, Les Sentiers has heavier clay soils and vines that flatten out to the east. The fruit here gives a wine that reflects its origin, with a richness that almost shows an edge of dark chocolate. Ponsot remarks that the real concentration in 2019 occurred when the vine pulled water from the grapes to nourish the canopy.

Producer Information

After 36 years at Domaine Ponsot, Laurent Ponsot left the family domaine in February of 2017 to pursue a new wine adventure. He is joined in this new endeavor by his son, Clément, whose excitement for winemaking is as strong as his own, while his other two children, Claire and Nicolas, also hold shares in the company. Embodying his pioneering spirit, the company is named after Laurent himself who values humility, respects nature, and enjoys above all else the great pleasure of winemaking. Laurent’s resolute quest for an alliance between history and innovation continues, and he will retain all of the fruits of his past research, such as the perfect closure, élevage without sulfur but under neutral gas, temperature-controlled “intelligent cases”, and the protection of authenticity. Through these innovations, his goal, as always, will be to provide consummate, authentic examples of great Burgundy wines.
