Ardeaseal

Delicate perfume of white flowers with baking spice and subtle maple consistent with a long slow ferment. Immediately composed and together with a harmony and intrigue, little pops of lanolin in the mix. Wonderful weight with delicacy. An immediacy. Fine acid with excellent shape and flow. Energy and vibrancy. Beautifully handled phenolics adding a superb textural layer. Salty, mineral, an immediate generosity, holding itself with a more linear shape. Excellent transparency. Lovely florals. 

First produced in 2009, Ponsot’s Corton-Charlemagne is drawn from two parcels, both in Aloxe: one on the Pernand border in Le Charlemagne and the second in Les Languettes.

A great success!“Split equally between fruit from Les Languettes and Le Charlemagne on the Aloxe side, this was a slow fermenter. It didn't finish its alcoholic fermentation until July 2021! As they say, good things c
