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
'Medium red. Aromas of sappy raspberry and smoked meat. Lush, dense, concentrated and sweet; very sexy wine, with compelling fruit and a texture of liquid velvet. Very easy to taste today; not at all a brooding style of Chambertin. As smooth and sweet as this is, it also clings impressively to the palate, with the fruit outlasting the ripe tannins on the very long aftertaste.' - Stephen Tanzer Vinous.com 92/100 (2003)
