Domaine des Chezeaux own some fabulous vineyards in Burgundy including Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin and some super old Clos-St-Denis. For years the wines have been produced by Domaine Ponsot on an en metayage arrangement. Once the wines are bottled 1/3 are delivered to Domaine des Chezeaux and 2/3 remain with Ponsot. The only difference is the label - the wine inside is exactly the same.
The Domaine des Chezeaux wines even say "Eleve, vinifie et mis en bouteille par le Domaine Ponsot" on the label.
That always begs the question why are the wines priced so differently? Clearly the Domaine des Chezeaux wines are wonderful buying for those who value most what is inside the bottle.
Today we have a fine selection of Domaine Ponsot and Domaine des Chezeaux wines from a superb private cellar.
The wines are all around one decade of age and are just beginning to hit their drinking window. Best of all the prices are very reasonable - invariably less than half the price of the current release!
Prices are per bottle. Mixed orders appreciated.
