Bonnes Mares Cuvee de l'Amandier 2019 Laurent Ponsot

Professional reviews

Jasper Morris (97)

A new vineyard which Laurent was able to purchase with 2019 as the first vintage. A slightly paler colour than the Chambertins, the fruit is fully ripe while the structural elements are clearly present: the mix between the two is harmonious and the finish is very persistent. Nicely done.

BOW (8.75)

Decanter (94)

Spectacularly forward, with lushly expressive notes of ripe red and black berry fruit, a firm mineral underpinning, and a smoky, earthy note. All of the press wine was blended into the free-run wine and the result was aged on the lees without racking. The texture on the palate seems a bit flat in the middle, but it is a pleasant wine, with balance and elegance that endure on the finish.
