2020, Domaine Ponsot, CORTON, 'Cuvée du Bourdon' Grand CruSeventy percent from Les Paulands and 30% from Clos du Roi, the 2020 Corton has quite an intense black cherry and blueberry scented bouquet with just a hint of violet in the background. The palate is medium bodied with an effervescent, orange zest infused entry, a superb line of acidity on the vibrant finish. This is very impressive, stylish with charm. 94 Neal Martin. 70% from Les Paulands 30% Clos du Roi and no Perrires this year. A deep colour,

Plenty of currant and hazelnut character

The bouquet bides its time in the glass

a fine-boned structure with plenty of freshness and focus on the finish

The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin

a bit wild with some medicinal aspects

This makes of Les Pensées a unique interpretation of Lafleur

fruity and quite supple

2008: A late ripening year and rain at harvest meant sorting was essential

and the the 2022 is one of the best ever

forest notes with bramble fruits

it's an especially elegant rendition of this superb clay-limestone terroir in the Côtes de Bourg

sapid finish
