Ponsot, Clos de Vougeot, Vieilles Vignes 2012 SPAIN True to its terroir

True to its terroir

Laurent Ponsot did not disguise his enthusiasm for this Grand Cru and I could understand why

A hidden gem in the Jadot range that delivers value and authenticity

Young and showing primary fruit flavors of cranberry and raspberry

Incredible inner-mouth mineral and berry flavors

Ponsot, Clos de Vougeot, Vieilles Vignes 2012 SPAIN True to its terroir94 96 points Wine Advocate From barrel, the 2012 Clos de Vougeot Cuvee Vieilles Vignes has one of my favourite bouquets with wonderful vibrancy, mineralite and tension. The palate has a beguiling sense of symmetry and tension, blessed with precocious, beautifully aligned mineral rich black and red fruit towards the finish. One of the best Clos de Vougeot this year.
