One of our darling Burgundy producers, Laurent Ponsot, crafted an extraordinary Echézeaux from their one-acre plot in 2009 and it’s still a monumental, cellar-worthy achievement after being in the bottle for over a decade. Should you be able to exercise sufficient patience, this Grand Cru bottling will become one of the most rewarding Burgundian wines you’ll ever taste. Upon pouring, expect a rush of raw power: full of forest floor, smoke, and brushed leather confidently backed by dark fruit. Further study will reveal black cherry, black raspberry, wild plums, star anise, blackcurrant, licorice, cloves, and bay leaf. The palate is incredibly structured with tightly packed tannins and bright acidity before revealing a fully extracted and fresh mouthfeel. This Grand Cru will further develop with another decade of bottle age.
