Clos de la Roche "Cuvée Vieilles Vignes" - Domaine Ponsot 1992 Magnum
The estate
The Domaine Ponsot is a family-owned wine producer located in Burgundy. It is known for its red and white wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but also for the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Clos des Monts Luisants, the only 100% aligoté premier cru in Burgundy.
The estate was founded in 1872 by the Ponsot family in Morey-Saint-Denis. Most of the estate's properties are grand cru and premier cru vineyards, and the Ponsot family produces wines from vineyards as famous as Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot, and Corton.
Unlike most Burgundy houses, Domaine Ponsot does not produce regional wines under the Bourgogne appellation. It also manages its vineyards and cellars differently from other Burgundy producers. There are no sorting tables - the management of the grapes is done in the vineyard. The wines undergo uncontrolled fermentations and are neither filtered nor fined.
The estate gained some notoriety when it was involved in the widespread fraud of counterfeiter Rudy Kurniawan. In 2008, owner Laurent Ponsot received a list of auction sales that included old vintages of Ponsot wines. Some of them were wines that had never been produced, and suspecting counterfeiting, he requested that these wines be withdrawn from the auction. Since then, Ponsot has studied various anti-counterfeiting measures and, in 2009, the bottles were identified by unique bubble codes that are impossible to reproduce.
