Burgundy 2016 – P

Image

See the full guide to our coverage of Burgundy's 2016 vintage. 

Jancis took this picture of the brand new premises of Laurent Ponsot in a business park on the outskirts of Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, just next door to Mark Haisma's new premises. Laurent has broken away from the family-owned Domaine Ponsot above Morey-St-Denis, which is now run by Laurent's sister. Neither producer was visited this year. 


DOMAINE AGNÈS PAQUET, Meloisey 

White

Fruity, rather floral and slightly simple nose with a vaguely metallic tinge to the palate. (JR)

Drink: 2018 – 2020
Price: £TBC per case of 12 ib Flint Wines
White

Bone-dry grapefruit juice. Solid but not desperately exciting. A bit foot-dragging. (JR)

Drink: 2019 – 2023
Price: £185 per case of 12 ib Flint Wines
White

Light, sleek nose with everything in place. This may be GV? Lots of chew and texture but great balance. (JR)

Drink: 2020 – 2025
Price: £TBC per case of 12 ib Flint Wines
Red

Light and a little raw on the end. Not much intensity or follow-through. (JR)

Drink: 2020 – 2024
Price: £185 per case of 12 ib Flint Wines

FRANÇOIS PARENT, Pommard
RH: Good, classic styling with a strong sense of identity.

White

Delicious nutty aromas with a flinty, sulphidic nose that gives great complexity to the palate. Vivid apple fruit with a long finish and plump body offset by vibrant acidity. Chewy, lengthy finish. (RH)

Drink: 2019 – 2029
Price: £TBC imported by Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies
Red

Expressive, almost acrid smoke aromas from toasted oak, then crunchy black fruit with a rich, lengthy ripeness on the finish. Intense and broad. (RH)

Drink: 2020 – 2030
Price: £TBC imported by Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies
Red

Rosehip and redcurrant on the nose, in a fairly restrained style with tight tannins and bright acidity. Tangy and glossy with perhaps not quite enough flavour concentration to last a very long time, but plenty to satisfy in the medium term. (RH)

Drink: 2019 – 2029
Price: £TBC imported by Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies
