    DOMAINE JEAN-BAPTISTE PONSOT Jean-Baptiste Ponsot farms a total 8.5 hectares in the Rully AOP with a deep respect for the land that his RULLY 1ER family has been fostering for three generations. He employs organic practices but hasn’t sought out “EN BAS DE VAUVRY” certification, preferring instead to prioritize the intrinsic health of the ecosystem and his vines. Domaine Ponsot’s holdings cover parts of three Rully premier crus in Burgundy: Molesme, Montpalais, and La Fosse. In addition to the 1er cru parcels, Ponsot farms 2.83 hectares in the “En Bas de Vauvry” Monopole as well as another 0.46 ha in “Rully Village” vineyards Varietal/Blend: Chardonnay Farming: sustainable with organic practices Soil: clayey limestone soil Exposure: E-S-E Trellis System: Guyot Harvest Technique: by hand based on timing of lunar cycles Domaine Ponsot was established by Lucien Ponsot in Ave. Year Vines Planted: 2000 1954 without essentially releasing a commercial Fermentation: fermentation in 15% stainless “Domaine Ponsot” bottling.

  • Toppan Printing's NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-End Burgundy Wine Producer
    November 16, 2018 Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. Toppan Printing’s NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-end Burgundy Wine Producer Preventing fraudulent distribution and counterfeiting of high-end wines with Cachet-Tag—an NFC tag processed to ensure that the antenna circuit breaks to prevent reading when the label is removed Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.’s (hereafter Toppan Printing; head office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Shingo Kaneko) Cachet-Tag™—an NFC1 tag designed to ensure that removal breaks the antenna circuit and makes reading impossible— has been selected for use on all Grand Cru wines produced by Domaine Ponsot, a high-end wine producer based in Burgundy, France. Shipments of products using Cachet-Tag commenced in October 2018. If the Cachet-Tag is removed from the wine bottle, the NFC tag breaks and the data on it can no longer be read. This can prevent relabeling and other types of fraud and is an effective measure against counterfeit and imitation products. When scanned with an NFC-enabled smartphone, the data stored on the IC chip can be read by a dedicated app provided by Selinko SA (head office: Belgium; CEO：Patrick Eischen), a company expert in authentication, gray market detection, and marketing services for connected objects. The result of authentication is then displayed on the smartphone screen to enable easy verification. The technology can also be used as a tool to provide consumers with product-related and other information. Domaine Ponsot is a Burgundy-based producer of high-end wines. Due to the rarity and excellent reputation of its wines, Domaine Ponsot has led the high-end wine market in introducing advanced counterfeit prevention technologies in response to damage to its brand caused by counterfeit products for more than 20 years.
