2004 Potel Nicolas Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

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.

Medium golden. The nose is understated, slightly monolithic but betrays a hint of oxidation. The palate is fresh with nice texture, but there’s that note of oxidation on the finish. Not for me.

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.

2004 Potel Nicolas Santenay Clos des Tavannes

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A fine and fresh nose that slowly deepens, again plenty of interest. Bigger and more concentrated than the Volnay VV but with a sophisticated structure. It might benefit from a little extra length, but it’s a very friendly and easy to drink wine.

2004 Potel Nicolas Beaune Les Grèves

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

From vines planted in 1904 that is now Nicolas’ own vineyard. The nose is a brooding melange of dark berries with width rather than depth. Sweet and concentrated, again with quite sophisticated structure and significantly longer than the last wine. Very good.

2004 Potel Nicolas Volnay Santenots

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A wide nose that anyway brings a strong impression of tightness. Lovely concentrated, ripe fruit. Again there is plenty of structure but in a sophisticated package – the tannin is quite velvety. A wine with lots of subtle touches and complexity. Lovely.

2004 Potel Nicolas Volnay Champans

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A high-toned and very interesting nose. The palate shows and edge more intensity vs the Santenots yet a little less structure and certainly doesn’t show its 14°! Apparently this parcel is always riper than the surrounding vines, but still retains good acidity. With the last swirl the nose is putting on more weight. Another fine effort.

2004 Potel Nicolas Volnay Clos des Chênes

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A deeper nose of darker fruit yet still topped with fresh high-tones – perhaps just a hint of reduction in the background. Here we find the structure of the Santenots and in the mid-palate almost (but not quite) the concentration of the Champans. However, there is a real extra dimension on the finish – the wine opens out beautifully.

Nicolas buys all the fruit from this estate. High-toned nose with plenty of width. In the mouth, this is cuts an athletic pose – no extra fat – good structure, just an edge of astringency to the tannin as it closes in on the finish. Nice extension to the flavour from the mid-palate onwards.
