About Nicolas Potel Cotes-de-Nuits Villages

Nicolás Potel, son of the esteemed oenologist Gérard Potel, is the signature behind this utterly sublime wine, synonymous with the quintessential Burgundy. No connoisseur of red wine should miss the chance to savour it.

This wine, crafted at Maison Nicolas Potel, is part of the venture that Nicolás embarked upon as a négociant in 1997, following his father's death, within the A.O.C Nuits-St-Georges, located in the Côte d'Or region (northeastern France). Although his role was initially confined to producing wines from grapes purchased from local vignerons, Nicolás, an adept connoisseur of the territory, always had a clear philosophy for his company: to respect the utmost expression of the terroirs.

This task is somewhat challenging considering that the A.O.C. Nuits-St-Georges is characterized by a diverse array of soils, slopes, and elevations where the vineyards of pinot noir (the region's signature variety) are nestled in this small valley of the Meuzin river. While the northern area features stony alluvions cascading from the upper slopes, the lower part comprises river deposits. This contrasts with the southern zone, with its deep marl-limestone soils, producing wines that are diametrically opposed to those from the north (more floral and spicy compared to the tannic southern ones).

The production of Nicolas Potel Cotes-de-Nuits Villages begins with the harvest, a pivotal moment where only the finest clusters are selected. This will be the sole interference during the vinification process, as Domaine Nicolás Potel has always adhered to the biodynamic calendar and minimal intervention, allowing the indigenous yeasts to conduct their spontaneous fermentations. Following this, Nicolas Potel Cotes-de-Nuits Villages is gently pressed to yield the wine that will be transferred to French oak barrels (where it will mature for over a year). During this period, Nicolas Potel Cotes-de-Nuits Villages will rest on its lees, will not be racked, and only a minimal amount of sulfites will be added (to prevent unwanted deviations). This is crucial, as this red wine will not be bottled until after the completion of malolactic fermentation. In this operation, the wine will be moved by broquereau, a technique that involves creating an opening at the bottom of the barrel so that the wine - with the aid of a funnel - can flow out solely by gravity.

Since 2004, due to a lack of capital, Nicolas Potel is no longer at the helm of his project. But no matter. Under new stewardship, Maison Nicolas Potel continues to produce wines that faithfully uphold the founding principles and spirit.
