The 2010 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Domaine Ponsot is a highly-regarded red Burgundy from a vintage celebrated for its balance, purity and focus. Aromatic notes include ripe, sweet red cherry fruit, with hints of violet and spice. Domaine Ponsot traditionally used a portion of grapes sourced through a métayage (sharecropping) arrangement with the Mercier family`s plot in Chambertin, which they historically bottled under the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze designation. This plot, owned by the Mercier family, measured 0.143 hectares and was the source for the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze bottling until the arrangement was changed.
