Les Quartiers De Nuits is yet another minuscule plot of a vineyard identified and chosen by Nicolas Potel, not quite one-third of a hectare, planted 96 years before this 2023 harvest. An early one for the most part, before the cold winds move in and ahead of Grand Cru neighbours like that of Echezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. There is a bit of mean intensity and streak in this singular, lieu-dit cru of a Bourgogne. The tannins are fierce, they lash upon the palate with severity and therefore the necessity to give time will become the requiem to success. Les Quartiers De Nuits is no shrinking violet and in fact the mix of botanical verdancy and bitters make up a formula which could never be solved in the first few years. The stuffing can’t be denied and the objective is perspicuous. Stay clear for a while. Drink 2028-2035.

Dark and brooding on the nose, reserved and still in a reductive state, this is very evidently a long way off from prime enjoyment. The palate, however, points the way forward to future harmony and integration, offering a superior dimension of flavours and saliva-inducing succulence, of energy and vibrancy. Reverberations of the earth rumble across the palate, and the body; there's clearly something special underfoot here, a tsunami of terroir, of place. The finish lingers on and on - this is special. Taste this to understand what terroir is all about, but not before 2030 for maximum revelation.

About the Winery
Garage Wine Co.

Garage Wine was literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo handcraft wines from a series of individual vineyards located in the Maule and Itata Valleys, in the south of Santiago, Chile.
Garage Wine Co makes wines from a series of individual parcels, small lots / bottlings of 8-22 barrels that include a series of dry-farmed field-blends of Carignan, Garnacha, Monastrell, País, Cinsault and Cab Franc grown on pre-phylloxera rootstock with small farmers in the Maule and Itata. Each wine is from a 1-2 hectare parcel in a different place.
Over the years working in the community they have raised a veritable posse of vineyard hands whose skills are working the vineyards the old way / the traditional way– originario. The vineyards are on the old coastal range of mountains closer to the Pacific and have granitic soils with cracks for roots to get deep down into.
When GWCo. speaks of the provenance of these wines they mean more than just the geological terroir. Derek and Pilar think the farming practices that have evolved over generations have as much to do with the wines’ personalities as the soils. All the wines are made by hand with native yeasts in small tanks, punched down manually and pressed out in a small basket press. GWCo is still very much a DIY operation and we still tow much of the crop back to the winery in trailers behind trusty pickup trucks 2,000 kilos at a time.

The 2021 Carignan Vigno originates from Empedrado in the Maule Region. Sourced from a cold area in a chilly year, it was aged for two winters in new French oak barrels. Garnet in hue, it presents nuanced, subtle aromas of pomegranate, cherry and herbs, complemented by notes of cotton candy, white pepper, earth and oak. Dry, lean and silky, with a compact and refreshing mouthfeel, this Carignan delivers a wild yet balanced palate. It stands out as a rare and expressive VIGNO, offering an unusual flavor profile that lingers long. Simply delicious.

A generous expression of village level Beaune from the Blanches Fleurs lieu-dit located at the northern border of Beaune close to Savigny les Beaune. Featuring a great deal of power and finesse, this lightly smoky pinot noir is bursting at the seams with black cherry, pomegranate and sweet red pepper. Pink peppercorn and rare meat play a supporting role in the flavour make-up of this engrossing and youthful pinot noir. Notes of rosebud coyly linger on the finish of excellent length. Best 2022-2025. Tasted May 2021.

This has a very lifted, toasty, hazelnut nose with considerable oak spice, peanut/almond skin. A bit garlicky as well, but the banana and lemon custard aromas are classic. It is full bodied, warm gritty and powerful. Very stony finish. Almost austere, and tannic. Could age very well indeed.

Not quite 20 year-old chardonnay vines at this stage from just a shade under 0.4 hectares below Les Charmes in Santenay. Yet another white Bourgogne stunner from Nicolas Potel that rings the bell of excellence for vintage and place. The refrain is sung on repeat because it does not seem to matter which plot, big or small - they all succeed out of the most justly cultured vintage. There is a chewy character to this Santenay and without the same bite and structural backbone of Saint-Romain, Savigny-Les-Beaune and Les Monts De Boncourt. Still the pleasure is all ours. Drink 2024-2027

From one more well known 1er cru sites in Beaune, this is a lovely, ripe, creamy and almost voluptuous chardonnay showing the warmth of the vintage. Expect complex and intriguing aromas of hazelnut, Boston cream pie, tarragon and toast and barrel spice. It is medium-full bodied, creamy, smooth, warm and powerful. Rich and seamless and refined, with a strong mineral seam running through the finish. The length is outstanding.

Historically a pinot noir plot in Beaune but Nicolas Potel made the decision in 2013 to go at it with chardonnay. Foresight is often better than hindsight and so his visionary 20-20 has gifted the world the beauty of fruit and stone intertwined from one of Bourgogne's increasingly important white sites. Vines just nine years old at this vintage and yet as experienced as those three to five times their age. A vintage like 2022 is ripe and less marginalized for chardonnay than for the pinot noir which means everything will shine and at the Premier Cru level there can be sheer greatness. Ripe grapes will have this effect and with chardonnay the excellence happens seemingly everywhere, from small plots to bigger and broader vineyards. This is a tiny one, just 0.2242 hectares and its play between fruit and acidity, extract and tannin is exceptional. The finishing bitters are an exquisite touch to an already blessed chardonnay. Drink 2025-2034.

A very pretty and refined Savigny old vines from domaine vines, always a solid bottling from Nicolas Potel, and attractively priced. 2022 was a warm vintage to be sure, but there's impressive balance and poise here, a purity of cherry fruit, a suppleness of tannins and comfort of the acids that beguiles. Length and depth are very good, and it's drinking remarkably well even at this early stage - it won't be a vintage for the long term I feel, but there will be considerable pleasure up front.

From a high-density 1956 planting of pinot noir, aged in 20% new wood and the rest in used barrels, this is complex and perfumed Saint Romain, especially spicy and stemmy in a good way, adding an impression of freshness and counter-balancing the ripe red berry fruit. The palate is mid-weight, properly firm and structured, with high sapidity and excellent length, and well-integrated, dusty tannins that still need some time to settle in. In the context of the region, I have to say this is an excellent value red Burgundy. I'd cellar for another 2-3 years minimum before enjoying, or hold until the end of the decade without concern. Great complexity and depth. Tasted May 2022.

This old vine 1er Cru Savigny shows surprisingly deep colour. The nose is lifted, fragrant and floral (lily), with very ripe strawberry/cherry jam, baked plum (actually thought of grenache) barrel spice and toast. It is a mouthful - rich, warm, smooth and refined at the same time. Real power here, with fine tannin balance - almost seamless, and excellent length. Some minerality as well. The length is outstanding. A real mouthful!

Who was Jean Ferté you ask? Monsieur Ferté was in fact the one who persuaded Nicolas Potel's father Gerard to make the move to Bourgogne and the rest as they say is history. Great uncle Ferté led a syndicate that was able to purchase Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in 1964, historically a part of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti until the French Revolution. Two plots totalling 0.77 hectares make up this Savigny Les Beaune with the oldest vines dating back to 1962. A pitchy and grippy pinot here in 2020 with mildly resinous evergreen notes that seem to partially define the vintage, especially from Beaune. Also seems to indicate a healthy level of stem inclusion. Really purple fruit and formidable tannin, a fine if currently demanding dichotomy. Drink 2024-2028.

From vines planted in 1952, harvested quite early, in the first days of September and aged in 25% new wood. The result is, like many 2022s, a ripe and fruity, almost monolithic example - I find it hard to distinguish terroirs in this vintage, though this has a significant degree of flesh and complexity, and in the end, it stands out for its cool limestone character, a sort of stoniness that other wines do not seem to possess, and indeed a strong sense of sapidity, salinity and minerality. Sharp value. Drink 2027-2034.

This is from a vineyard planted in the 1950s. It shows a very pretty nose with classic NSG blackcurrant fruit (as opposed to cherry elsewhere), fresh herbs, a slight meatiness and iodine, and wood spice. It is medium weight, firm, warm and tannic - excellent structure and flavour in-fill. It has the rugged ambiance expected of this famous appellation. Best 2028 to well into the 30s.

The estate's commitment to the quality of Beaune wines truly shines with this Premier Cru, redolent of rosewood and noble vegetal notes. An elegant aroma precedes a palate that is both refined and complex. A truly exceptional wine of exemplary elegance.
