L’Abeille means honeybee. This wine comes from half a hectare in Les Epointures, a well-placed site under Clos-Prieur and near Chapelle-Chambertin. The 2021 is the second release since the vineyard was replanted following the 2012 vintage, using mass-selection cuttings at 11,000 vines per hectare. For now, only the best fruit from the site is used to make this cuvée, with the rest declassified into Ponsot’s Bourgogne rouge. It is a fleshy, refined Gevrey that displays Ponsot’s deep, pure-fruited (low-yield, late-picked) style—lovely purity and class on offer here.

Reviews

“The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l'Abeille opens in the glass with aromas of sweet red petals, peonies and cherry pit. Medium-bodied, satiny and melting, it's a pure, elegant wine that will drink well young.”
88-89 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“Just racked. A fine light to mid purple. The bouquet is not giving much. Healthy grapes here from a normal yield. Fresh and vibrant fruit, a raspberry touch with a little cherry behind, a good thread of acidity and some length. Attractive and well balanced with some length, a good result for young vines planted.”
89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
