Laurent Ponsot’s 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”: it’s 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. This red wine of the Bourgogne appellation is cherry red in colour with deep ruby reflections. A fresh, fruity and lively wine to serve as an aperitif, accompanied by a mixed platter of cold meats and cheeses, a gourmet salad and a warm slice of toast with your own choice of topping.

The Cuvée Classique is drawn predominantly from the Domaine's vines on the mid-slope of the Clos but also plots on the lower and upper parts of the vineyard. While there's certainly more depth and fruit intensity here, there's also more detail and clarity and exceptionally fine, powdery tannins that coat the tongue and drive the very long finish.
