The 2022 Ponsot Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru hails from a vintage characterized by a particularly hot and dry climate, with early flowering and intense storms providing welcome rainfall, leading to exceptional grape ripeness. The winemaking emphasizes gentle extraction to preserve elegance, with maceration lasting two to three weeks and aging for 18 months in French oak barrels averaging around twenty years old, notably without the use of new wood. This wine is endowed with remarkable aging potential, capable of cellaring until approximately 2052, with optimal drinking recommended from 2033 onwards. Tasting notes describe a deep imperial purple hue, dense yet translucent. The bouquet is remarkably pure, opening with aromas of red and black cherries, plums, rose petals, and liquorice, underscored by delicate smoky touches. With aeration, an evident minerality emerges, accompanied by notes of blackcurrant, truffle, leather, undergrowth, aniseed, and green tea. The palate is harmonious and beautifully full-bodied, offering a core of ripe fruit supported by powerful yet velvety tannins, lively acidity, and a penetrating minerality with saline accents. The finish is exceptionally long and complex, evolving towards superb earthy nuances. Other critics note aromas of plums and cherries mingled with smoke, licorice, and rose petals, leading to a full-bodied, layered, and concentrated wine with a deep core of fruit, sweet tannins, and lively acids. It also presents ripe, plummy fruit with complexity from earth, leather, and game, and a focused, powerful, and dense texture. 🍴 This magnificent red wine pairs beautifully with roast poultry or poultry in a red wine sauce, roast lamb served in its own juices, a fine côte de bœuf, or a platter of soft-rind cheeses. For an Asian pairing, consider Cantonese roast goose or a rich braised beef dish. 🥂 With its remarkable aging potential, this Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru requires patience and is ideal for long-term cellaring, making it a perfect choice for significant future celebrations or as a cornerstone of a serious wine collection. 【Remarkable aging potential, optimal drinking from 2033 onwards, and cutting-edge authenticity technology】
