The history of Domaine Ponsot begins in 1872 when William Ponsot bought an estate in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits valley. The name Clos de la Roche is the most prestigious Grand Cru red wine appellation in the region. The soils of Clos de la Roche are rich in clay, which gives more body, depth and aging potential to its wines. Domaine Ponsot has always sought to express the richness of Burgundy’s terroir through natural farming practices. The family’s long tradition is to let nature take the lead. Human intervention is limited and only applied to the vineyard, where it is really needed.
