Laurent Ponsot, Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvee du Cypres"

This wine is bright red in colour, resembling very ripe cherries. The aromas of Charmes-Chambertin recall raspberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants, with notes of fruit kernel, liquorice and spices. Other aromas may also be present such as rose, violet, moss and undergrowth. On the palate, power, opulence and elegance combine to create full-bodied, complex, vigorous wines, with voluptuous substance, enabling them to age for at least 10 years. Synonymous with a great wine, Charmes-Chambertin is powerful, virile, complex and intense, and should be accompanied by equally noble, complex dishes, so that the combination is balanced. Furred game would be an excellent choice, and can be served grilled or, better still, in a wine sauce. In Burgundy, the word “Charmes” means fallow land, in the sense of stubble fields where a few thickets of “charme” or hornbeam might grow, these small rustic trees with hard wood being perfect for heating.

Laurent Ponsot, Beaune 1er Cru "Cuvee du Noyer"

A bright, lively and luminous colour is the perfect introduction to a Beaune Premier Cru. These flaming shades are a precursor to aromas of black and red fruits, forest floor and undergrowth. When young, a Beaune Premier Cru offers the palate the crunchy charm of fresh grapes. Firm, frank and sappy, the mouthfeel continues to develop, asserting a full-bodied and perfectly convincing structure.
The enormous aromatic power and fleshy texture of a Beaune Premier Cru make it a great companion for strong-tasting and firmly textured meats, such as roasted and braised game. The epitome of Burgundy and the capital of its wine trade, the town of Beaune attracts the attention of the whole world during the Hospices de Beaune wine auction. Its red wines have been known as the “Pinot Vermeil” of the Dukes of Burgundy since the Middle Ages. Laurent Ponsot SAS blends eight different Premier Crus to make its Cuvée du Noyer.
