Domaine Ponsot: Burgundy’s Icon of Excellence at Gaston

At Gaston, we take great pride in offering our guests a selection of wines from the most prestigious estates in Burgundy. Among them, Domaine Ponsot stands as a beacon of tradition, craftsmanship, and unparalleled quality. Established in 1872, Domaine Ponsot has been a leading figure in Burgundy, particularly in the Côte de Nuits, where its wines from legendary vineyards like Clos de la Roche and Clos Saint-Denis are hailed as some of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir in the world.

The Legacy of Domaine Ponsot: Pioneers of Tradition

Domaine Ponsot is renowned not only for the exceptional quality of its wines but also for its dedication to organic and biodynamic farming practices. The domaine was an early adopter of natural winemaking, long before it became a trend. Laurent Ponsot, who led the estate for many years, was a firm believer in letting the vineyard speak for itself with minimal intervention in the cellar. Today, this philosophy remains central to the estate’s winemaking approach, resulting in wines that are pure, expressive, and age-worthy.
