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. There are several schools of thought on the etymology of Meursault without any clear winners, but according to one theory, its wines are so brilliant that they compete with the sun: Meurs soleil! Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between richness and acidity make this one of the great wines of Burgundy.

DOMAINE JEAN NOEL GAGNARD Grand Lys Extra Brut Chardonnay, Cremant de Bourgogne

Fresh, elegant wine, perfectly combined with dishes of fish, oysters and shellfish. Chardonnay grapes grown on the vineyard Montee de Tonnerre, which is located on the right bank of the river Serin, east of Chablis.

The Premier Cru "L'Homme Mort" or "the dead man" in english, is a plot located in the "Fourchaume" climate, renowned for its wines of great finesse and minerality. Two explanations are given to explain the unattractive name of this climate: A slip of the tongue, "the dead elm", an old tree used to mark out plots. The presence of a small cemetery at the entrance to the valley. A few sarcophagi from the Merovingian period containing skeletons were unearthed there. Terroir : Limestone soils rich in Kimmeridgian, ideal exposure on the south-western slopes of Bougros. Tasting : Bright pale gold color. Intense nose of candied citrus, hazelnut and flint. Vibrant palate with beautiful tension and a lingering saline finish.
