" All the superb and dramatic complexity that this displayed from barrel has made it into bottle as an extremely ripe and fantastically broad nose soars from the glass, merging seamlessly into dense, pure rich and powerful flavors that are opulent, sweet and dripping with so much extract and sap that the combination stains and saturates the palate on the hugely proportioned yet impeccably balanced finish that is so long that it doesn't seem possible. Given how many reference standard vintages Domaine Ponsot has produced of the Clos de la Roche over the years, it would be presumptuous to anoint this as the best ever but if it isn't, it will certainly take its rightful place among the very greatest. In sum, a 'wow' wine that makes you shake your head in sheer amazement. However be aware that this is a buy and forget wine as it will require at least 15 years to shed its considerable tannins and it will see 50 years without difficulty."

Domaine Ponsot, founded in 1872, is one of Burgundy’s great traditional estates. Long guided by Laurent Ponsot’s philosophy of purity and patience, the domaine avoids new oak, cosmetic winemaking, and shortcuts of any kind.

2005 is a legendary Burgundy vintage, and Ponsot’s Clos de la Roche ‘Vieilles Vignes’ is one of its benchmark wines. Sourced from 65-year-old vines and farmed sustainably, it is fermented with native yeasts in wooden vats and aged 18 months in neutral barrels. The wine is never fined or filtered, preserving a pure, unmasked expression of Clos de la Roche with immense structure and longevity.

Allen Meadows (Burghound) awarded it 99 points shortly after release - an exceptionally rare score from a critic famously conservative with high ratings!

Nearly twenty years on, it remains youthful and powerful, showing black cherry, rose petal, spice, earth, and the signature mineral drive of Clos de la Roche, with decades of life still ahead.
