Laurent Ponsot Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée du Perce-Neige Magnum
French White
Hawthorn blossom, lemon and fresh pear lead into warmer notes of honeysuckle, brioche and toasted almond. The palate is fleshy yet lifted, with ripe orchard fruit balanced by a saline, finely drawn finish. Hints of marzipan and pineapple add breadth without making it heavy, while lively freshness keeps the texture poised. Serve slightly cool with roast fish, gougères, mushroom ravioli or vegetables baked with feta.
Laurent Ponsot 2017 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvée des Peupliers Magnum
French Red
Cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry open with pomegranate, peony and a gentle earthy edge. The palate is supple and finely textured, carrying pulpy red fruit through delicate tannins and bright freshness. A light savoury note appears with air, while the finish remains graceful, clean and quietly persistent. The larger format should benefit from time in a decanter; serve with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot 2022 Meursault Cuvée du Pandoréa
French White
Lemon zest and white blossom open with toasted almond, hazelnut and a measured buttery richness. The palate is full and silky, balancing ripe citrus and gentle honeyed notes with a clear line of freshness. Flint and light toast add definition through the middle, while a savoury mineral edge keeps the finish long and composed. Serve slightly cool in a generous glass with lobster, roast chicken, turbot or creamy mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l’Aulne
French Red
Strawberry and raspberry lead a lightly floral nose, with darker currant, soft earth, cedar and a whisper of wild herbs underneath. The palate is sleek and medium-bodied, combining fresh red fruit with savoury spice and a clear mineral line. Fine volume builds through the middle before a firmer, gently rustic finish brings shape and length. Give it time in a decanter and serve with duck, roast chicken or mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée du Cyprès
French Wine
Wild red berries lead, with a distinct green-tea note and a quiet savoury, forest-like edge rather than overt spice. The palate is shaped around clear Pinot Noir fruit and a restrained earthy profile, allowing the grand cru detail to come through without heaviness. Give it air in a wide glass and pair with roast duck, game birds, venison or mushrooms.
