A mésange is a small songbird. Nestled in an elevated valley behind Auxey-Duresses, Ponsot’s rugged, rocky, 30-year-old source vineyard is typical of Saint-Romain’s cool, limestone-rich terroir. Yet this wine is far from typical, with a texture, complexity and seduction rarely seen in this appellation. Now bunch-pressed and vinified with more solids, the wine is a vibrant, layered and generous white Burgundy.
