2022 Domaine Ponsot Grand Cru Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes

96 POINTS

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2022 Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has the finest bouquet from Domaine Ponsot this year: ebullient black cherries and violets on the beautifully-defined nose. Very flamboyant with losing sight of its terroir. The medium-bodied palate is very tensile and energetic with finely-knit tannins and a deftly crafted, sorbet-fresh finish. This is a superb Clos de la Roche that should age with style. Points: 95-97

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is a powerful wine, though comparatively speaking only a middleweight in the context of years such as 2018, 2019 and 2020, and it's more suave and integrated out of the gates than those vintages. Offering up deep aromas of ripe berry fruit mingled with baking spices, rose petals, orange zest and vine smoke, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a fleshy core of fruit, supple tannins and a nicely cohesive finish. Points: 94-96
