RATINGS

91-92+ The Wine Advocate

...offers high-toned black fruit essences, distilled plum, smoke, floral and spice aromas. Tasting of spiced blackberries and prune...Rich and palate saturating...

91-93Stephen Tanzer

..Densely packed but juicy and light on its feet, with a penetrating mineral character giving it energy and precision. This finishes with grand cru palate coverage and seductive sweetness but no impression of weight.

89-92Burghound.com

..The mouth coating flavors are round, delicious and quite minerally with the typical hint of finishing austerity on the finely detailed & pure backend. A lovely wine that could surprise to the upside if it adds further complexity with age.

PRODUCER

Nicolas Potel

Maison Nicolas Potel is a negociant started in Burgundy in the late 1990s by Nicolas Potel, son of the legendary winemaker Gerard Potel, who founded Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in Volnay. After Gerard’s death in 1997 Nicolas started the negociant business, but a falling out with his business partners in 2009 forced him out of the business that still bears his name. The company is now owned and operated by the brothers Louis and Armand Cottin of Maison Laboure-Roi, a nearly two-hundred year old Burgundy negociant. Nicolas Potel has had no connection with Maison Nicolas Potel since 2009. The Maison offers a large portfolio of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and other Burgundies.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Petits Monts

Les Petits Monts is a 9-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. This small vineyard is divided up into about 20 individually-owned parcels.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
