Cuvee du pandorea meursault 2018 (Laurent Ponsot)

Enjoy it now, or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant before serving. In 2017, after almost four decades at Domaine Ponsot, Lauren Ponsot began a new endeavour under his own name and with the help of his son, Clémente. While neither a domaine nor an estate in the traditional sense, this new brand aims to create cutting-edge, fashionable wines, bringing the concept of "Haute Couture'' to the world of wine. Laurent Ponsot owns 7 hectares of vineyards in Meursault, but he also employs an old-fashioned way of sourcing grapes. Żeby filling the role of a "négociant", Laurent pays his due to Burgundian tradition and leaves the grape growing to those who know it best. "Cuvée de Pandorea" is sourced from 6 different suppliers across Meursault, resulting in a perfectly rounded wine that is a fantastic representation of the region. A delicate bouquet of floral and citrus notes greets you from the moment you uncork this bottle, with some hints of ripe peach and hazelnut. It strikes a great balance between volume and precision - it is undeniably round in the mouth, but also exhibits a fine, driving acidity. Look for subtle flavours of lemon rind and peach on the palate, supported aby clean minerality and a notable oakiness. There are hints of honey on the long finish."Cuvée de Pandorea" will match beautifully with creamy cheeses or chicken dishes.
