ardea sealed: 2008 chézeaux/ponsot chambolle-musigny les charmes
Only one issue with this wine; the ‘cork’ really did need the strength of Samson to remove, at least with the chosen tool – the generally reliable L’Atelier du Vin lever corkscrew (pictured). 80 year-olds probably need not apply… 2008 des Chézeaux (Ponsot), Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Charmes… Read More
laurent ponsot’s new ‘plastic corks’…
So here we have (potentially) progress in Côte de Nuits Grand Cru seals – Olivier Leflaive has already used them for a year or two in the Côte de Beaune. I retain that hint of caveat as regards ‘progress’ because there are no 20, 30, 40+ year-old bottles to deliver… Read More

2007 chézeaux/ponsot griotte-chambertin
Domaine des Chézeaux 2007 Griotte-Chambertin I’m rather hooked-in-to this wine just now – maybe I’ll write something eventually… 2007 Chézeaux/Ponsot, Griotte-Chambertin Medium cherry-red. The nose starts with a burst of enthusiasm, tightens for a couple of minutes, then relaxes; although it’s not so wide there… Read More

2007 chézeaux/ponsot chambolle 1er les charmes
2007 Chézeaux, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Charmes I don’t think I’ve opened too many 07 reds at home yet – but this is a resoundingly successful start! The Ponsot wines are bottled, but not yet in the distribution chain, but as you see here a few of the Chézeaux labelled… Read More
ponsot 02 morey st.denis 1er clos des monts luisants vv
The pic is from my bottle of the 2001, whereas this 2002 by comparison disappoints. Medium gold and plenty of oxidative aromas and flavours. Given that I (the hater of oxidation) still drank 3 glasses, shows there is still something positive to be said for the wine –… Read More
maréchal, giroud, cerbaie and ponsot from last week
Drunk at lunch and dinner last week during the harvest in Beaune: 2006 Catherine et Claude Maréchal, Bourgogne Aligoté Apparently made in a ‘hyperoxigenated’ way. Medium yellow. The first aromas are high-toned over a base of fruit that reminds me of pinot blanc. In the… Read More
