Description
RP (88-90) - The Wine Advocate - William Kelley
The 2020 Saint-Romain Cuvée de la Mésange is a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine evocative of citrus zest, crisp green orchard fruit and white flowers. Bright and chalky, it's a fine rendition of this cuvée that pays homage to the original William Ponsot's origins.
The 2020 vintage at Domaine Ponsot marks the first time in history that this estate has begun the harvest in the month of August. Coming in at between 13.5% and 14% alcohol, these are powerful, concentrated Burgundies with deep, saturated hues, vibrant acids and serious musculature, and they will demand some bottle age. The 2019s, revisited from bottle, are also rich, lavish wines, bursting with fruit that almost conceals serious structure that will also reward patience.
