Domaine Ponsot, Clos de la Roche Cuvée Spéciale - Vieillissement Prolongé 1990

6 bottles per lot
Details
The special cuvée comes from an old Massal Selection of vines planted in 1947 and produced only one 228L barrel. Picked at full maturity, the aim was to exploit the maximum potential of this exceptional vintage. This unique cuvée which possesses extraordinary concentration and balance was initially reserved for the family of Jean-Marie Ponsot. Matured for five years in barrel and aged for a further 25 years in bottle, this wine has now reached its apogee and reveals aromas of dark fruit jam, spices, citrus zest and sous-bois. The mouthfeel is rich and enveloping and remains perfectly balanced. The tannins are perfectly integrated and mouth filling and bestows extraordinary length to this wine.
Domaine Ponsot, Clos de la Roche Cuvée Spéciale - Vieillissement Prolongé 1990
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Bottled in small quantities for the Domaine’s library stock. This Clos de la Roche Cuvée Spéciale was never commercially released. Only a very limited number of bottles and magnums were made available exclusively for this jubilee auction.

Tasting note: Harvest from 31 October to early November . Never released on the market before!
Pure nose of cassis, expressive touch of vanilla. Good intensity, liquor like richness on the attractive nose. All fruits still. The taste brings you back to the creme de cassis aromas. Really remarkable beautiful intensity, suave, all rich fruits. On the finish the fine matured acidity is coming up from the rich fruits. Beautiful balance and length. Impressive in its purity of rich fruits. Very good! Cassis! Tasted during the jubilee tasting at the Domaine in June 2022. Edwin Vos
