Crafted under Laurent Ponsot using ancient, low-yielding vines—some dating back to 1905—and aged strictly in old oak barrels with minimal sulfur, this iconic cuvée is the purest testament to the limestone power of Morey-Saint-Denis. From the legendary, near-perfect 2002 vintage, the wine has reached a glorious peak plateau of maturity. The nose unfurls with an aristocratic, multidimensional bouquet of macerated black cherries, wild raspberries, dried roses, and orange peel, layered with forest floor \u003ci\u003esous-bois\u003c\/i\u003e, truffles, game, black tea, and crushed limestone minerality. On the palate, it is dense, broad-shouldered, and deeply sapid, carried by velvety, melted tannins and a vibrant streak of persistent acidity that drives into an expansive, savory, and remarkably haunting finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2002\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Domaine Ponsot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep, Aristocratic, Powerful, Tertiary, and Legendary Benchmark Grand Cru Red Burgundy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Pan-roasted squab with truffle jus, slow-roasted rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic, roasted venison loin with juniper reduction, or pan-seared duck breast with cherry glaze.
