Potel Nicolas

2007 Potel Nicolas Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Wide, ‘tender’ aromatics that are complex at the core. Just a hint of carbon dioxide on the tongue. A fulsome impression without ever becoming plump or fat. A little fine-grained tannin. Very, very pretty wine – and just a little bit more complexity than some.

A high-toned, wide with slightly creamy fine fruit. Fuller than the villages but with good balance – super in the mid-palate. Slowly fading – excellent.

The nose is wide, fine and fresh though less deep than previous wines. Good intensity here, and this is the best finish so far – lovely, linear and mineral. Very fine…

2007 Potel Nicolas Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées

The nose is denser, but the fruit is very fine and fresh. Silkier concentration – very impressive mid-palate intensity before a slowly lingering finish. Not just impressive – super!

2007 Potel Nicolas Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.Jacques

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

An interesting nose brings a slightly musky impression over fine soil, dark fruit and hints of raisin. Very silky tannin and super acidity. Understated overall despite its sweet fruit. This doesn’t particularly make me think to Lavaux today, but it’s lovely all the same.

2007 Potel Nicolas Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Vergelesses

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

November bottling. A rounder, softer and redder nose than the previous wines – shows good density. Fresh acidity, plenty of tannin showing towards the finish – with just a hint of astringency. This is more seriously structured but it has fine fruit to compliment. Very good – but leave most of your bottles in the cellar.

2007 Potel Nicolas Volnay Santenots

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. Dense, mineral aromas that are more faintly fruited – implies power though. A little more roundness and sweetness on the palate – good depth. Again, plenty of structure, but the tinnin is finer grained that what went before. Good length – very likeable.

2007 Potel Nicolas Volnay Caillerets

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Faint herbs over lovely, if relatively restrained red fruits – even a little roasted element in there. More depth and density again, perhaps less impact but it’s beautifully supple. There is structure, but it’s well buried – very pretty wine.
