$17.50The Story
Maxime and Camille Ponson are the 6th generation to run this family estate based in the La Petite Montagne de Reims.Â
Â
They are blessed with a broad collection of 1er cru level sites in some of the great villages of area including Vrigny (home to one of Egly-Ourietâs most famous parcels), Eceuil (home village of Savart) and their hometown of Coulommes-la-Montgane. Since taking over after their father's tragic, early death in 2018, they've radically improved the farming, moving all of their estate-owned vineyards toward organic certification and employing lots of biodynamic techniques as well.
In the cellar, their pristine fruit is whole-cluster pressed using an old-school basket press and fermented in stainless steel to maintain maximum freshness. ĂlĂ©vage takes place mostly in tank, with oak used extremely sparingly. The brothers also age a significant amount of reserve wine, which they employ to give the wines a heady touch of oxidation and power.
This wine is 70% Pinot Meunier, 15% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, and based on the lean and energetic 2021 vintage. With just a few minutes of air, the wine starts to show its crunchy mineral core and a delightfully grippy, extra-long finish.
