Domaine Ponsot, Gevrey-Chambertin “Cuvée de l’Abeille”
The Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l’Abbaye has a perfumed, Morello cherry and rose petal nose, hints of orange blossom and incense percolating through with time. The palate is well balanced with slightly chewy tannins, simple, partly because of the young vines (planted 2014), just miss a little concentration on the finish.
