Laurent Ponsot

Laurent Ponsot operates from Meursault in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, producing white wines from Chardonnay grapes. The estate focuses on premier cru vineyard sites within the Meursault appellation, working with traditional Burgundian winemaking methods to express the terroir of this renowned white wine commune.

Meursault represents one of Burgundy's most celebrated white wine appellations, known for producing rich, textured Chardonnays with distinctive mineral complexity. The commune's limestone-rich soils and favorable southeast-facing slopes create ideal conditions for Chardonnay cultivation. Meursault wines typically display a balance between power and elegance, with characteristic notes of hazelnut, butter, and white flowers, developing greater complexity with age.

Laurent Ponsot's current offerings include premier cru wines from Les Charmes, one of Meursault's most respected vineyard sites. Les Charmes sits in the northern section of the appellation and produces wines known for their finesse and aging potential. The estate's Cuvée de la Centaurée represents their interpretation of this classic Burgundian terroir.
