Ponsot Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 2016

Ponsot Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 2016

Like the Poisets this is notably rich with its relatively large-scaled flavors that also enjoy good density thanks to the abundant dry extract that also coats the palate and pushes the firmer supporting tannins to the background

dazzlingly complex and superbly long finish

unctuously textured

firm and beautifully balanced finale

an absolute must for the cellar of all those who celebrate life

The rich and unusually supple medium-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate concentration before culminating in a more refined finish than usual that delivers excellent length and only a trace of rusticity

bare-boned wine with more muscle

from the smallest of the parcels at five acres

Joe Wender

This is exuberantly fresh with its pretty array that is composed by notes of both red and dark pinot fruit

justifying my initial optimism

Interestingly this is actually a bit more aromatically elegant with its super fresh nose of red cherry
