Vintage information 2006:

The reds: Impressive in the Côte de Nuits - almost 2005 quality. Côte de Beaune's are typically more reticent, many are fine, but it's better to test before you buy full cases. Quality spreads between good, sophisticated medium-term drinkers - tasty wines - and more structured medium-plus term wines from later bottlers - buy if you're happy with prices.
For Whites: there are plenty of overblown, flabby wines from later pickers, but the best straddle a divide between the rich 05s and the fresher 04s

2006 Potel Nicolas, Volnay Vieilles VignesApr. 2008
The Potel signature wine is, in 2006, a compendium of around 12 separately vinified parcels whose vines average out at 60+ years old. The nose is wide with a nice complexity of dried berries; cranberry, redcurrant and black cherries – very nice. The palate has good intensity and a background of ripe tannin. The finish is a good one. – recommended as always.
