"The 2016 Pur Pot comes from Clos du Roi, which was not frosted over this year, includes 75% whole bunch from the vines planted in 1945 and 1946. It has a very harmonious bouquet with small black cherries, blueberry, limestone (obvious given the terroir) and a touch of violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, a razor sharp, verging on shrill, line of acidity (the pH is 3.25, and you can feel it, though Laurent said there is no acidification), and it is quite powerful and intense on the finish, suggesting that it will benefit from a year or two in bottle."

Pur Pôt is a selection of old vines from the steepest part of the Clos du Roy vineyard. Vinified at the level of a Chambertin or Clos de la Roche, this wine once again demonstrates that Marsannay can produce wines of Grand Cru quality. Powerful, dense, and rich in tannins, it is a wine of great pedigree that demands time in the bottle. 2012 marked the first vintage of this exceptional cuvée. From 2020 on, this cuvée is named "Le Pau".

Laurent Fournier is a rising star in the Burgundy world. His wines from Marsannay easily reach the level of those from Nuits or Gevrey, but at half the price. A must for true Burgundy lovers.
