Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2003

The Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2003 is a powerful and expressive red Burgundy from the prestigious Grand Cru vineyard Chapelle-Chambertin in Gevrey-Chambertin. Known for its depth, complexity, and aging potential, this wine embodies the warmth and intensity of the 2003 vintage, which brought rich ripeness to the fruit. In the glass, the 2003 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru reveals a deep ruby color with garnet highlights, signaling both its concentration and maturity. The nose is bold and complex, offering an alluring bouquet of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, alongside hints of dried rose, licorice, and underbrush. As the wine opens, delicate touches of spice, leather, and smoky earth emerge, adding further layers to its aromatic profile.

On the palate, this Grand Cru is full-bodied and robust, with rich, velvety tannins that provide structure and elegance. The ripe dark fruit flavors are intense and layered, balanced by a lively acidity that brings freshness to the wine’s powerful profile. Flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, and clove are complemented by a chalky minerality, a hallmark of the Chapelle-Chambertin terroir. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earthy spice, and a hint of truffle.
