Embracing cutting-edge technology, the winery utilizes Ardea Seal closures, an alternative to traditional corks that allows wines to breathe and age naturally while minimizing bottle variation and the risk of TCA cork taint. In a nod to authenticity and traceability, Laurent Ponsot implements NFC technology in their Grand Cru bottle capsules. The wines even distinguish themselves with avant-garde labels featuring a sleek silver-gray and sharp green palette, a modern aesthetic that reflects the estate’s innovative approach while honoring Burgundian tradition.

The estate produces a diverse range of red and white wines. Its flagship, Clos St Denis Grand Cru, comes from vines planted in 1911, showcasing a profound expression of its terroir. This iconic wine balances power and finesse, featuring rich, layered aromas and remarkable complexity. As the largest producer of Griotte Chambertin, Laurent’s wine is a full-bodied, silky red that offers youthful approachability while also having excellent aging potential. Notably, its characteristic aroma leans towards redcurrant rather than cherry.

The Meursault Charmes Premier Cru is an excellent introduction to the estate’s white portfolio, featuring a concentrated palate and a rich bouquet of dried fruits, apricot, yellow peach, floral notes, and hazelnuts. For a more budget-friendly option, the Meursault Cuvee du Pandorea offers an accessible entry without compromising on quality. Each wine from Laurent Ponsot expresses the essence of its terroir with unparalleled complexity and finesse, making it a must-try for discerning wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Interestingly, Laurent Ponsot positions itself as neither a Domaine nor a Maison but rather as both winemakers and assemblers of wines. As a negociant, they are dedicated to proactively sourcing the finest raw materials to craft haute couture wines.
