2016, Laurent Ponsot, GRIOTTE-CHAMBERTIN, 'Cuvée du Saule' (Willow tree)

In Laurent’s time at Domaine Ponsot this could be a veritable hit or a slight miss. The 2016 looks like the former. It has a gorgeous purple black centre, then a marvellous richness of red and black fruit through the middle, a very valuable bite of acidity, and all sorts of detailed little red fruits dancing across the palate, offering amazing detail. Very promising! 95-97 Jasper Morris MW.
