This insists upon more coaxing from the glass, more swirling to eke out those attractive scents of blackberry, raspberry preserve and rose petals, all very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe, sappy red berry fruit. There is pleasant tang of sour cherry here, even a hint of licorice on the finish that has more density than the Charmes-Chambertin, if not quite the nascent \"Charmes.\" Give it 4-6 years in bottle and then I think you might have a serious Griotte on your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaurent Ponsot was unfortunately away when I visited the domaine, but fortunately chef de cave Arnaud was on hand to guide me through the 2014s. He told me that they picked from 23 September until the beginning of October, as is customary here, later than many growers. He told me that there was some affect of the drosophila suzukii but that it was spread over the vineyards rather than specific locations. In any case, it was remedied by vigorous sorting in the vines. The malolactic was smooth and quick and finished by the end of the year. The wines will be bottled May\/June 2016. It was an excellent, occasionally spellbinding set of 2014s from Ponsot, the seemingly never-ending array of Grand Crus achieving great heights, the highlights being the Clos de la Roche Très Vieilles Vignes and a wonderful Chapelle-Chambertin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; font-style: italic; font-family: \"Libre Franklin\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); background-color: rgba(250, 250, 250, 1)'\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: \"Calibri Light\", \"Helvetica Light\", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)'\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wine Clique","offers":[{"title":"Ponsot Griotte Chambertin 2014","offer_id":39435239260328,"sku":"BGD01190022","price":741.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/3316\/6248\/files\/BC_Upload_e4048f75-68f9-46bc-b251-0b3b149ee9ab.jpg?v=1773223676","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-clique.com\/products\/ponsot-griotte-chambertin-2014","provider":"Wine Clique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
