Laurent Ponsots new company is a stage in a wide-ranging project that began four decades ago. In this different format, Laurent Ponsot continues to use his experience, his craftsmanship and his passion to serve the terroir of Burgundy. The company Laurent Ponsot is neither a domain nor a maison: its a state of mind. To create an exceptional wine is the equivalent of designing luxury goods. Haute couture is how we have decided to describe these incredible wines, like unique designer pieces, made even more glorious through our experience and craftsmanship. The freshness and fruity and accessible suppleness of a Bourgogne Blanc make it the perfect introduction to the stunning wines of Laurent Ponsot.

The 2021 Sarget de Gruaud Larose, produced by the renowned Château Gruaud Larose in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France, is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of the region's organic viticulture. On the nose, this wine exudes powerful aromas of ripe dark berries, including blackcurrants and plums, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. Its deep ruby hue hints at the wine's full-bodied nature, with a rich and velvety texture on the palate. The flavours of dark fruits are beautifully balanced by a touch of spice and a hint of earthiness, providing a long and satisfying finish. This wine is a testament to the meticulous care and craftsmanship put into every bottle, making it a must-try for any lover of Bordeaux wines.

A stones throw from the famed Chateau Beychevelle, the estate is set in the south of the St Julien appellation and notable for vitality, finesse and elegance. The wine here is produced by Patrick Maroteaux whose increasingly influence is in turn elevating the quality and reputation of these wines.

The wine tastes remarkably good: concentrated, aromatic, and complex. The speed with which the grapes became concentrated preserved magnificent vivaciousness. The wines are truly brilliant.
