Laurent Ponsot, Griotte Chambertin Cuvee du Saule Grand Cru, 2019
Griotte-Chambertin is one of the rarest of all Burgundy Grand Crus, a tiny 2.56-hectare jewel in Gevrey, and Laurent Ponsot farms a full hectare of it, calling it 'the Lolita of Grands Crus' for its seductive charm. Ponsot left his family's legendary Domaine Ponsot in 2017 to build his own house, bringing prized fruit sources with him, and this Cuvee du Saule is the result here. Griotte takes its name from the morello cherry, and the wine plays the part: expressive red and black fruit, a hint of spice, and a silky palate framed by enough firm tannin to age gracefully for years. This is finesse-driven, traditional Burgundy from one of its most singular figures. Cellar it or decant generously.
