History of the wine

The name “Cuvée de l’Amandier” refers to the almond tree near the vineyard, a symbol of elegance and resilience. Bonnes Mares Grand Cru has long been revered for producing wines of profound structure and longevity. The 2022 harvest yielded perfectly ripe clusters, giving rise to a Pinot Noir that faithfully reflects the unique terroir of this grand cru.

Vineyard philosophy & cellar approach

The vineyards are farmed sustainably, avoiding systemic chemicals and favoring natural methods. Hand-harvesting ensures only the best grapes reach the cellar. Fermentation is spontaneous, maturation occurs in French oak barrels, and Laurent Ponsot uses ArdeaSeal closures to protect the wine from premature oxidation while preserving aromatic purity and aging potential.

Laurent Ponsot

The History of Laurent Ponsot

In 2017, Laurent Ponsot, after leaving the historic Domaine Ponsot, embarked on a new adventure by founding his own winery together with his son Clément and a carefully chosen team. Based in Gilly-Lès-Cîteaux, in the heart of Burgundy, the estate stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation. The project is both a Domaine, with 7 hectares of vineyards in prestigious areas, and a Maison de Négoce, selecting top-quality grapes to craft refined cuvées. With more than 26 Burgundy appellations produced, this new chapter quickly became a global benchmark, thanks to Laurent’s modern vision and meticulous attention to detail.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vineyard philosophy at Laurent Ponsot is guided by respect for nature and the pursuit of the purest expression of terroir. The vines are farmed without systemic chemicals, following sustainable practices that preserve soil vitality and guarantee plant balance. Yet, Laurent embraces modern techniques when necessary, always prioritizing vine health and grape quality. This pragmatic vision, deeply rooted in Burgundy’s microclimates, results in fruit that authentically conveys the land’s identity with clarity and precision, vintage after vintage.

Approach in the Cellar

Winemaking at Laurent Ponsot can be described as haute couture enology. Constant technological innovations are introduced, such as the ArdeaSeal closure replacing traditional cork, which protects wines from premature oxidation and cork taint, ensuring long-term integrity. Neutral gas is used instead of sulfur during aging, reducing intervention and preserving purity. Every step is meticulously monitored: from temperature control of cases to authenticity codes protecting against counterfeits. This precision guarantees bottles that reach consumers in flawless condition, faithfully expressing their origin.

Vision and Innovation

Laurent Ponsot embodies creativity and avant-garde spirit. The estate stands out with innovative packaging, surprising bottle designs, and modern labels, diverging from Burgundy’s classic aesthetic. The use of recycled materials highlights a commitment to sustainability, while bold stylistic choices showcase a strong identity in a competitive landscape. This vision, blending research and imagination, drives a unique project where wine is crafted as a tailor-made creation, designed to last and inspire. Each cuvée reflects a journey from soil to bottle, expressing passion, innovation, and respect for the terroir.
