Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2023

(96-99 points) 32 barrels made, which is equal to half the red wine cellar! A bright even purple. A slightly nutty note to the otherwise reticent bouquet. Then follows a vast volume of fruit right across the piece, a...

Vinous, January 2024

(95-97 points) The 2022 Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has the finest bouquet from Domaine Ponsot this year: ebullient black cherries and violets on the beautifully-defined nose. Very flamboyant with losing...

Burghound, January 2025

A restrained, spicy and broad-ranging liqueur-like nose features a plenitude of spice elements on the ripe, fresh and layered nose of both red and dark currant, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. Once again there is a...

Decanter, November 2023

Although Ponsot's Clos de la Roche is a bit closed at this stage, it is a monumental wine with abundant plum and black cherry fruit aromas, pepper, earth, and olive. The texture is rich and dense, with firm but not...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2024

(94-96 points) The 2022 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is a powerful wine, though comparatively speaking only a middleweight in the context of years such as 2018, 2019 and 2020, and it's more suave and...

The 2022 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Pinot Noir is a notable wine from the Burgundy region of France, specifically from the Cote de Nuits sub-region and Morey St Denis appellation. This red wine, crafted by Domaine Ponsot, is receiving acclaim from several top wine critics, highlighting its exceptional quality and potential for aging.

Vinous offers the highest praise, awarding it a score of 97 and noting that it has "the finest bouquet from Domaine Ponsot this year" with "ebullient black cherries and violets" on the nose. The review describes the wine as "very tensile and energetic" with "finely-knit tannins" and a "sorbet-fresh finish."

Decanter also rates it highly, scoring it 96, and describes it as a "monumental wine" with aromas of plum, black cherry, pepper, earth, and olive. The texture is described as "rich and dense," with a "silky and elegant finish." The review advises patience, recommending that the wine be opened in five to ten years, as it is expected to last 40 to 50 years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives the wine a similar score, highlighting its "deep aromas of ripe berry fruit mingled with baking spices, rose petals, orange zest, and vine smoke." It describes the wine as "full-bodied, layered and velvety" with a "fleshy core of fruit" and "supple tannins."

Jasper Morris provides an almost perfect score of 99, noting the wine's "vast volume of fruit" and "density which is in a different league." He suggests that the wine could "explode in volume" as it ages, due to the "tension" currently holding back its full expression.

Overall, the 2022 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes is a remarkable Pinot Noir, praised for its complexity, balance, and aging potential.
