Good to Know: Laurent Ponsot is a fourth-generation Burgundian winemaker who, after over 35 years leading his family's famed domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis, established his own estate in 2015 in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux alongside his son Clément. His new venture blends estate-grown fruit with a high-end négociant model, sourcing from trusted growers across 26 appellations to craft a broad portfolio of village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru wines. Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and terroir transparency, Ponsot avoids chemicals, new oak, and heavy sulfur, while embracing cutting-edge innovations like NFC capsules, oxygen-sensitive closures, and temperature-tracking shipping cases. Known for both his precision and integrity—famously helping expose the Rudy Kurniawan wine fraud—Laurent Ponsot today stands as a leader in marrying Burgundian tradition with forward-thinking technology to produce wines of remarkable purity, elegance, and authenticity.
