Nicolas Potel
Nicolas bought this parcel planted in 1913, and his first vintage was 2004. There is a superb selection-at-large which lends a fat and ample character associated with old vines to this cuvée. Five other parcels, purchased with the typically strict Potel nose for quality, have vines aged 50 to 70 years. Total production is 1,500 cases per year. Food Match: roasts, pork, grilled meats, duck, beef, veal, white meats.
Wine Spectator
A solid, tannic red, with red currant and wild berry and succulent acidity. It needs a year or two to harmonize. Nice balance and display of fruit. Best from 2010 through 2018.

not overly precise and is more a generous wine with depth.
