About this Item
Nicolas Potel is the son of Gérard Potel – a Burgundy icon who was the manager and a shareholder of La Pousse d'Or in Volnay. After his father’s death, Nicolas started Maison Nicolas Potel where he sourced high quality grapes and produced a very large number of different wines. Nicolas lost his maison, which still bears his name, and started again. Today he focuses on smaller quantities and produces high-quality wines.

Critics Ratings
Nicolas Potel Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2004
‘Very vibrant and well delineated. Intense nose. Cracking fruit. Well balanced and slightly earthy. Firm and denser than most 2004s. Sweet and rich. Grainy. Dry.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2006)
Nicolas Potel Chambolle-Musigny1er Cru Les Charmes 2004
‘Rather seductive nose – very true to type for the appellation. Round. Very successful! Very correct, long and charming. Lovely texture.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2006)
Nicolas Potel Volnay 2005
‘Rich and full of cherry, raspberry and violet aromas and flavors. This is pure and dense, staining the palate right through to the lingering aftertaste of cherry compote.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (May 2008)
