2022 Domaine Ponsot Grand Cru Chapelle Chambertin

95 POINTS

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of plums and cherries mingled with smoke, licorice and rose petals. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit, sweet tannins and lively acids, this harmonious but authoritative wine is one of the highlights of the Ponsot range this year. Points: 94-96

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet, very pure and mineral-driven, certainly demonstrating more complexity and nuance than the preceding Corton-Bressandes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. This overtly sapid, marine-influenced Chapelle gets the saliva flowing. There is good density on the finish. I can see this aging with style, but it will require time in the bottle. Points: 94-96

The Chapelle-Chambertin from Ponsot is hitting its stride. This delicious wine has abundant ripe, plummy fruit with suitable complexity from notes of earth, leather, and game. The texture is focused, powerful, and dense – it seemed to me a very 'Côte de Nuits' style wine in its structure and length. It is produced from grapes from the domaine's half-hectare of vines in En Gémeaux, picked late, destemmed, and aged after fermentation in used casks to create this substantial wine that will age for decades.
