A step-up in just about every direction. The nose is wide and interesting and the palate delivers both depth and dimension. Like the 2005, this is another super Bèze chez Potel.

A very fine and sweet nose with well delineated fruits – very impressive. Wow – almost everything is available here; concentration, never-ending complexity and dimension. Marvellous, multidimensional stuff. This wine almost left me out of breath!

The nose is a little mineral and quite tight, opening slowly in the glass. Not a giant wine, it’s about balance with a very understated structure – mainly mineral notes with a very sneaky length. Certainly not a showy wine but all the pieces are in place.
