Provenance & Masters Behind the Bottle

This storied estate in Morey-Saint-Denis was founded in 1872 by William Ponsot. Currently, the reins are held by Alexandre Abel, whose expertise blends seamlessly with traditional savoir-faire. The estate gained prominence through continuous innovation, notably being one of the first in Burgundy to adopt organic farming practices as early as the 1950s.

Vineyard & Craftsmanship

Domaine Ponsot operates with a singular focus on the land, working with old vines averaging 45 years in age. It's not merely the age but the roots that dive deep into the varied soil layers, absorbing complex minerals that make each vintage remarkable. The estate's commitment to minimal intervention in the winemaking process adds a level of exclusivity; they produce only a limited number of bottles annually.

Aging & Investment Value

For collectors looking at wine as an alternative investment, Domaine Ponsot offers considerable appeal. With high-quality vintages that have proven to age gracefully, the wines not only offer a splendid drinking experience but also accrue value over time.
