2007 Potel Nicolas Meursault Blagny

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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…

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.

10% stems here. More aromatic width but less depth versus the Echézeaux, but the complexity is on a higher level and there’s a faint muskiness. Fills the mouth with pure, ripe fruit then a super mid-palate burst. Last thoughts are a hint of astringency that’s long forgotten as the flavour eventually fades – super.

The nose is a little riper, a little more dense but still has good freshness. Mouth-filling, sweet acidity, concentrated. Apparently it only went through 70% of the malo, stopped and would not restatrt. There is the faint ‘prickle’ of carbon dioxide but this is none-the-less good.

A January bottling. A width of interesting and pretty aromatic notes, underpinned with deeper, darker elements. A narrow entry on the palate, but it widens considerably. Decent structure of well balanced tannin and acidity – lovely balanced wine.

A nice depth of pretty fruit on the nose – it slowly widens in the glass too. Mouth-filling, concentrated and intense. Mouth-watering, lingering flavours – very long. Not many words, but a super bottle.

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!

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.

Width and complexity are the hallmarks of the nose – plus a beautiful core of fruit. Supple and concentrated with perfect balance. An extra dimension of flavour in the mid-palate before the good finish. Lovely stuff.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
