Ponsot Bourgogne Cuvee du Pinson 2001 (1x75cl)

Over twenty years in bottle changes Pinot Noir. Fruit steps back, the texture goes lighter and silkier, and what's left is usually more savoury than sweet. If you've only ever had young Burgundy, an older bottle like this is a different conversation.

Handle it gently — stand it upright a day before, expect some sediment, and pour carefully. Best opened with people who'll actually slow down and notice.

Tasting notes

Burgundy Pinot Noir with this much age typically shows dried red fruit, mushroom, tea leaf and forest floor, with tannins mostly resolved into a soft, light-bodied finish.
