Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2017 (750ml) Red Hills Lake County Towards the end of theThe 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuve Vieilles Vignes is superb, bursting from the glass with aromas of juicy cherries, peonies, blood orange, licorice, raw cocoa and espresso roast.
