PONSOT JEAN-BAPTISTE

In 1954, Lucien Ponsot created the family estate in Rully. Fascinated by vines, he decided to make room for them on his farm. In 2000, at just 20 years of age, Jean-Baptiste took over from his father, Bernard, and created Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot. From then on, he was able to proudly express his love of Burgundy wines. As soon as he arrived, he began planting vines on the estate's undeveloped land. The modernization of the winery was a priority for him, and a new winery and cellar were built in 2005.

Geographical location of Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot

The eight and a half hectares of Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot are located on the best slopes of the Rully appellation. Two-thirds of the estate's vines are in the Premier Cru appellation. Vintage after vintage, Jean-Baptiste Ponsot continues to improve his estate. Since 2007, he has been managing his vineyards using the "lutte raisonnée" method, without pesticides or herbicides. His approach is imbued with respect for the characteristics of each plot and soil typology.

Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot wines

The Domaine Jean-Baptiste Ponsot vineyard produces two-thirds white wine and one-third red wine. Of the estate's nine appellations, six are classified as Premier Cru. These include Molesme, which comes in white and red. Rully Premier Cru Montpalais is also available in white. These two appellations offer an exceptional Cuvée 24, a red Molesme and a white Montpalais, aged for two years. Today, Jean-Baptiste Ponsot's white wines are a must for Chardonnay lovers.
