Sourced from the clay-limestone terroirs of Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, the Ponsot Cuvée des Merles 2018 is a Pinot Noir of exceptional finesse. Its notes of cherry, violet and spices combine with a lively, velvety texture. Perfect for cellaring (10–15 years), it pairs beautifully with duck breast or braised beef.
Nestled in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis since 1872, this family estate embodies exacting standards and faithfulness to the Burgundian terroir across five generations of winemakers.
- Terroir: clay-limestone and marly soils of the Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru appellation, where the Pinot Noir draws its minerality and depth.
- Winemaking: aged in oak barrels, respecting natural cycles and seeking a pure, elegant expression of the grape variety.

Serve at 16–18°C in a Burgundy glass to unlock its full complexity.
