Clos de la Roche Cuvee Vieille Vignes 1999 Domaine Ponsot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 1999 Clos de la Roche Vieille Vignes is one of Laurent’s best wines from this hallowed vineyard. It has a generous bouquet that, as I commented before, does not mess about, almost “hugging” the olfactory senses and begging to be loved. It swarms with cranberry and raspberry scents, and continues to emit something almost Tuscan, but here with a little more mineralite. The palate is medium-bodied, sweet and round, lithe in the mouth with very wonderful persistency. Rubenesque!
