Pierre Ponnelle was one of the great wine figures in Burgundy in the nineteenth century. Not only was he very successful as a wine producer, he is particularly remembered for his contribution to the development of oenology knowledge. Born in 1847, he started his own wine company Maison Pierre Ponnelle in Beaune in 1875. In 1890 he obtained the old abbey of Saint Martin de l'Aigue in Beaune, founded in 377 by Saint Martin. In the beginning of the twentieth century he is succeeded by his son Lazare Ponnelle. Now, more than 125 years later, the old Burgundian wine tradition is still being honored, albeit with the help of the most advanced techniques. It is not for nothing that the motto of the company is "Respiciamus atque Propiciamus", which translates freely: "We are heading for the future with the strength and knowledge we have gained from the past".
