2006 Potel Nicolas Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

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 fine but very undestated, indeed tight nose – just a faint undercurrent of dried red fruits. Softer, with much more sophisticated tannin than the Nuits. There’s a lovely flavour profile in the mid-palate. This wine shows plenty of potential

A bright nose that mixes forward and clean fruit with toasty brioche and faint nuts. Mouthwatering with quite some savoury extract on the mid-palate. Good acidity but today just a little un-knit – needs a little longer in bottle.

2006 Potel Nicolas Volnay Santenots

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

A broad, soft red nose with an undercurrent of pot-pourri. Plenty of velvety, slightly astringent tannin, understated, balanced acidity and a good length – it seems to have all the necessary pieces.

2006 Potel Nicolas Corton-Charlemagne

deep and savoury nose with just a little background sulfur. Very mineral, soft in texture and widening into the mid-palate and long, long in the finish. This has some understatement for a Charlemagne but the depth and concentration are obvious.

Lovely dark, dried fruits on the nose but just needing a little more focus. Ripe and with plenty of tannin that’s a little less astringent than the Santenots but with more grain. A nice follow-through of flavour into the finish. I think this will be very nice.

2006 Potel Nicolas Criots Bâtard-Montrachet

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

A much wider and more complex nose, though some faint estery notes too. Super texture, this wine absolutely stands out for its ceamy complexity in the mid-palate and its awesome finish. I’d only once had a white that ruined the next few reds as its flavour had saturated my palate and refused to leave – that was DRC 2002 Montrachet – this is the second wine to achieve it. Stunning, awesome wine.

2006 Potel Nicolas Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées

This wine is often a favourite: Complex and interesting fruit mixes with tobacco and coffee. A lovely ripe palate of quite some concentration. This is a lovely package, concentrated but no hard edges and a fine finish. I suppose I have to buy some again…

The nose is complex focused and elegant – super. Lithe, vibrant wine with a super finish. This is very, very good. Short note, sweet wine.
