Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)(5-Star Wine) In Laurent’s time at Domaine Ponsot this could be a veritable hit or a slight miss. The 2016 looks like the former. It has a gorgeous purple black centre, then a marvellous richness of red and black fruit through the middle, a very valuable bite of acidity, and all sorts of detailed little red fruits dancing across the palate, offering amazing detail. Very promising! |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-97)‘Cuvée du Saule’. Red to crimson in colour and a fresher bouquet, raspberry with a hint of something more acidulated. But ripe enough on the palate, is there a hint of volatile, if so doesn’t matter. Very exciting potential! |

Burghound (96)A slightly riper nose combines notes of plum, black cherry, spice and more subtle earth nuances along with a floral top note. The generously proportioned, plump and highly seductive middleweight flavors possess an abundance of sappy dry extract while the strikingly long finish is also shaped by dense but fine-grained tannins on the superbly long, balanced and lightly stony finish. This is also stunningly good and a wine that should be more approachable young compared to the Chambertin. |
