This is a powerful yet compact, mineral driven white Burgundy. Solid structure here! The nose shows generous, complex and detailed aromas of ripe peach/pineapple fruit, lemon, vague toast/smoke, pine nuts and some flint. It is medium-full bodied, firm and dry and warm, but not heavy. The finish is very mineral. The length is excellent to outstanding.

Starts out with sweet strawberry, cherry and floral aromas and flavours that quickly give way to the lively structure. There's purity, focus and balance, but this needs time for the two halves to come together. Best from 2014 through 2026.

A bit more off the cuff reduction marks the earliest moments of Nicolas Potel’s rich hidden treasure of a Chassagne Montrachet. If you wondered aloud to yourself if the luxe would acquiesce to the twice bitten verdant orchard fruit in crack peppered style on the palate…take a breath…then you would have had a perfect shared moment with yourself. Linger, elasticity and length. Quelle surprise, what a shocker. Drink 2021-2028

This is not a highly effusive or rich wine - more linear, taut and firm with all its power saved until the end where acids and minerals collide and go for extra laps. The nose is lemony, a touch reductive, flinty and vaguely nutty with a hint of evergreen. It is medium bodied, racy and intense with outstanding length. a great palate experience. Tasted January 2023

There is a tender beauty to this Volnay, the fruit of 50 year-old vines in the Clos des Chênes premier cru. The nose is an arresting perfume of violets, lavender, perfectly ripe red berries, and sweet, woody herbs, while the palate is a delicate interplay of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and subtle spice. It feels silky and refined, with fine-grained tannins and firm acids. The finish reverberates softly. It is drinking well now and will continue to do so for the rest of this decade.

This a deeply coloured, now maturing pinot from the famous Grand Cru hill of Corton. The aromas are somewhat reserved and ripe with black cherry jam, considerable forest floor/mushroom, a meaty note, vanillin and fine wood spice. It is quite full bodied, almost voluminous and rich with very fine tannin. The alcohol is up there but balanced by the fruit depth. The length is excellent. Drink now with aeration but it still needs some time in my view. Best 2025 to 2033. Tasted January 2023

Beaune makes a more open-knit, broader and generous style of Burgundy, very evident here. The quite intense nose shows ripe bright sour cherry, licorice, spice and hay/dried herbs. It is medium bodied, warm, sour-edged and quite powerful with fine tannin. The length is excellent to outstanding. Best now to 2030. Tasted January 2023.

Maturing slowly, this is just moving into some gold shading at seven years. It is a lovely, gracious and seamless wine with complex, refined if not effusive aromas melding peach/pear fruit, lemon, subtle spice and the beginnings of tertiary nutty complexity. The sense of charm is its abiding feature, but there is also power and depth. The length is outstanding with fine minerality. Tasted January 2023.

This pours vivid lemon yellow. It has somewhat reserved yet rich nose of pineapple, marzipan, fine bread crust/lees, yellow flowers and a touch of honey.

Grabbing a piece of Aux Malconsorts is surely a big deal for Nicolas Potel and 2018 is a terrific vintage from which to launch his interpretation of this famed Vosne Romanée Premier Cru. Originally planted in 1610 it is bordered by the Grand Crus La Tâche and Les Gaudichots to the north, Premier Cru Les Chaumes to the East and to the south by Premier Cru Aux Boudots in Nuits-Saint-Georges. A early to average pick on September 13th and a perfectly reasonable 20 per cent new wood because this is some of the most profound fruit for this village. Concentration and depth make for the lightest and most effusive compaction and in a word this is just bloody sublime. The swirl of natural sweetness emits sparks and circulates so many things; floral perfume, salinity, cream of tartare, red berry distillate and pure vanilla. The engagement is next level and the haute-gastronomie a thing of beauty. No evil consorting happening here, only allure. Drink 2025-2038.

This bold, firmly structured Pinot Noir is sourced from vines averaging over 50 years in age. Fiery in tannins and grounded by a smoky, earthen minerality, the concentrated, tightly wound wine offers a deep core of preserved Damson plum and morello-cherry flavors. Hold till 2025 at least. The wine should improve through 2035 and hold much further.

This is a fairly rich and complex, and rare, white Savigny with a generous, complex and well integrated nose of peach, brown spice, toasted peanuts and hay. It is medium weight, tender and elegant - as are Savigny pinots - with a fine sense of minerality. The length is excellent. Very good value for fans of excellent white Burgundy

As small as a plot gets, 0.3 hectare in size, planted in 1927, sandwiched between Echezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. A place of heroic, sustainable, focused and reasoned farming, for Nicolas Patel one of the exacting gems where pinot noir in the Côtes d’Or will find greatness and cast a spell. Yes the austerity, bound and wound intensity are off the proverbial charts to set this wine back 25 years but just a fifth of that time will be needed for its charm to show. The swell of red fruit is inspiring and 2021 or not the awe is noted. Vosne Romanée is represented with utmost esteem and time can only serve to embellish, replenish and increase the splendour of this complex wine. Drink 2026-2037.
