Red

Earthy & Fresh

Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer in Burgundy. He grew up in a family dedicated entirely to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's.

This entry-level red Burgundy comes from vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The vines range in age from 30 to 80 years and are farmed sustainably.  Think delicious smashed cherry skins, crunchy acidity and a fresh vibrant intensity. Beneath all the fresh red fruit there is a subtle earthiness and chalky tannins.  This old vines Burgundy has finesse and a real quaffable quality.

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is light enough to pair with salmon but complex enough to accompany duck confit. Try it with earthy-fatty meals like mushroom risotto, grilled trout or gnocchi with ricotta!

Approachable & Fruity

Saint-Romain sits in an isolated valley northeast of Auxey-Duresses. This wine is drawn from four distinct vineyard parcels—Les Poillanges, Aux Bas des Poillanges, La Perrière, and Sous le Château—all planted in 1957.

Bright and red-fruit driven, the wine is notably fresh and energetic, with tart fruit character at its core. Grainy, grippy tannins provide structure to the light, slightly funky flavours, while a gently austere edge and stony mineral note carry through the finish.

Planted in 1937, this plot lies in the heart of Suchots, adjacent to Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and has been organically farmed since joining the estate, with the soil maintained through horse plowing and sustainable practices. The nose reveals ripe, menthol-tinged aromas of black cherry liqueur, spice, and delicate notes of lavender. On the palate, the rich, focused flavours offer a seductive, mouth-filling texture balanced by the wine's firm, acidic backbone. The finish is powerful, dusty, and long, delivering impressive length.

Named in honour of Nicolas Potel’s great uncle, Jean Ferté—who led the syndicate that purchased Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in 1964, a property historically linked to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti prior to the French Revolution—this cuvée brings together fruit from two estate parcels.

A lovely blend of two small Burgundy premier crus, Les Haut Jarrons and Peuillets, this vintage opens with inviting warmth and spice on the nose, shaped in part by the warm growing conditions. Fresh fruit takes centre stage, with notes of black cherry and raspberry layered alongside savoury echos of leather and dried tobacco leaf. The palate is rich yet well balanced, with softly integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that keep the concentrated fruit feeling lifted and playful. Charming and expressive, it delivers both generosity and finesse.

Rich & Tannic

Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer in his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques.

Fleurie is one of the top crus in Beaujolais producing wines of deep fruit and great structure. Stéphane Aviron’s Fleurie is sourced from a family owned hillside vineyard on the western side of the appellation, “La Mandone.” This famed vineyard features very steep slopes with granite soils that requires all work and harvesting to be done by hand. The vines here are very old, between 55 and 90 years in age. 

A true Burgundy in many ways. This Fleurie shows very similar characteristics to a fine Moulin à Vent with abundant ripe almost macerated fruit and rich, structured tannins. This is a truly age-worthy Beaujolais.
