Domaine Ponsot, Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 2010

The Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 2010 from Domaine Ponsot is a sleeping beauty. The bouquet is quite closed revealing little of all the beautiful fruit that is crammed into this wine. The nose nevertheless offer some fine notes of strawberries, blue berries and pomegranate. The palate is more accessible with a beautiful fruity midpalate – the fruit is deep, cool and complex – offering rich layers of pure pinot flavors. It’s intense with a considerable weight and concentration – but still very refined. The tannins a finely grained but quite abundant – this wine will require at least 15 years of cellaring. A big and truly beautiful Clos de Vougeot in the making.
