Meursault Blagny Premier Cru “Cuvée du Myosotis” 2021 – Laurent Ponsot

Overview

The Meursault Blagny Premier Cru “Cuvée du Myosotis” 2021 is a refined white wine that balances the mineral tension of the Côte de Beaune with the aromatic harmony of Meursault. The 2021 vintage, cooler and more rigorous than 2022, has produced grapes of great purity, resulting in a complex, vibrant wine with excellent aging potential. Dedicated to the Myosotis flower, a symbol of delicacy and memory, this cuvée expresses Laurent Ponsot’s vision of uniting tradition and innovation. Contains sulfites.

History of the wine

The Blagny climat, located between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, is one of the most fascinating Premier Crus of the Côte de Beaune. Renowned for its limestone soils and exposure, it has long produced whites with intensity and minerality. The “Cuvée du Myosotis” was born from the desire to interpret this unique terroir in a contemporary way, without betraying its soul. The 2021 vintage highlights freshness and finesse, making it a symbol of balance.

Vineyard philosophy and cellar approach

Vines are cultivated with deep respect for nature, avoiding synthetic chemicals. Manual harvest ensures only the healthiest and ripest grapes are selected. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations and aging in French oak barrels, partly new, allow the purity, minerality and finesse of Chardonnay to shine. Laurent and Clément Ponsot combine technical precision with a respect for tradition.

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.
