2004 Potel Nicolas Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A really beautiful nose – depth, width and complexity – quite lovely. A wine that’s all about balance rather than concentration – reminiscent of Mugnier’s version – or is it just reminiscent of Fuées 😉 A gorgeous wine.

A nicely mineral nose here of some concentration. There’s a wide impression to the palate, also showing good concentration. Today this seems more interesting than either of the Meursaults.

Not quite the expressiveness of the aromatics of the Fuées, but still, it is both fresh and complex. Similar to the Fuées in the mouth we are again talking about silky balance coupled to wonderful complexity. Lovely fruit. Another ‘buy’.

A wide and deep nose, lots going on here, tons of interest. A wine that grows in your mouth, full concentration, nice acidity and penetrating length. This is a lovely wine.

The nose is tighter and more sauvage than for the Petits Monts. vs the Clos Frantin Malconsorts this has much finer tannin – a more sophisticated edge – however it’s missing the fireworks and complexity of that Frantin wine. It does, however, have a wonderful finish. Overall, the mid-palate is showing much tighter than the other wines here. If it opens up it will be rather good.

From Pernand vines. A high-toned nose that also goes really deep. Another wine that expands to fill all the gaps in your mouth. Not the fat of Potel’s Champs-Gains but more intensity and the length is good. An impressive wine.

Nice and complex with some depth on the nose. Again a very fine texture that dovetails well with the concentration. The tannins are a little chewy in the finish, but there is good length. Another good wine.

2004 Potel Nicolas Bâtard-Montrachet

A wide and subtly deep nose with just the merest trace of vanilla. Big, wide and mouth-filling yet retains balance and just keeps on running into the finish. A bigger wine even than the Charlemagne. Another impressive wine.

2004 Potel Nicolas Clos de la Roche

Soft, complex and sweet red nose, lots of interest. The wine currently seems to be a bit of battle for supremacy between the fruit and the structure – and there’s plenty of both – just needs time to settle down a bit. Like most of the wines in this range the structure is beautifully tailored, so I expect this to come together well.
