Laurent Ponsot Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Cuvée de l'Amandier – Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

PONSOT LAURENT BONNES MARES CUVÉE DE L’AMANDIER RED

A peerless Grand Cru from the revered Laurent Ponsot estate, the ‘Cuvée de l’Amandier’ represents the pinnacle of Bonnes Mares. This highly expressive Pinot Noir captures the dual character of the appellation, offering both the fragrant charm of Chambolle-Musigny and the robust, long-ageing structure of Morey-Saint-Denis. It is a wine of profound concentration and exceptional purity.

Sommelier’s Notes

The wine presents a deep, luminous ruby colour. The complex nose is immediately arresting, revealing layers of violet, blackcurrant, and ripe cherry, with nuanced undertones of humus and damp earth. The palate is full-bodied, yet wonderfully refined, featuring a powerful concentration and a velvety texture that leads to an incredibly persistent, mineral-tinged finish.

Food & Drink Suggestions

• **Decanting:** Recommended for younger vintages (2-4 hours).
• **Best Paired with:** Classic game dishes, such as venison or grouse, or mature strong cheeses like Stilton.

This is a magnificent bottle for the cellar, destined to evolve over decades, rewarding patience with supreme complexity.
