2007 Potel Nicolas Beaune Vignes Franches

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Darker, very pretty cherry over a little herb. A full and plump impression that is well balanced by good acidity. The understated tannin still finds an edge of astringency – there’s good dimension of flavour here.

A melange of quite forward red and black fruit notes – gives a soft impression. After the Latricières the tannin seems more grainy, though it’s not particularly astringent. Pretty wine – or maybe I should rather say ‘Charming’.

Darker fruit aromas, just like the Beaune, a little classier maybe but not so dense. Sweetness, a little fat, finer tannin. Really super balance – definitely worthy of the label.

The aromas are tighter, good depth but little else to start with. Mouth-filling, certainly not the brutality of the 2005, but there remains concentration and quite some intensity in equal measure – very well balanced though. Dark flavours that finish rather long. Eventually the nose develops a toffee-edged red fruit note.

After a super Chambolle, the aromas here are more diffuse, though there’s a hint of Gevrey earth at its base. Good ripe fruit, excellent acidity and quite well-mannered tannin. Nicely mouth-watering.

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Bottled in July 2008 after a mix of oak vat and stainless-steel elevage, no battonage to keep freshness. Medium yellow. A hint of SO2 then fresh ripe fruit – mango. Sweet, fairly simple flavours with nice balancing acidity. Easy and pretty.

A good mix of aromas including an edge of dark olive. Ripe fruit coats the tongue – the structure is buried by this. Balanced and showing a good length. Another good villages.

Also bottled in July. More power on the nose. Wide, with more depth and impact. Fine acidity – this is a nice wine.

Deep, ripe and very pretty fruit edged by slight torrefaction. Sweet and supple, showing good acidity to balance. The tannin is more obvious than with the villages bottles – but they are well under control. Very good.

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…
