WINE DESCRIPTION

Nicolas Potel Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is a highly sought-after wine produced by Nicolas Potel, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy, France. However, after 2008 the winery along with the name was sold to Cottin Freres. This wine comes from the Bonnes Mares Grand Cru appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyard features steep slopes and a mix of clay and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, traditional fermentation methods, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Pinot Noir with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and earthy notes. It has a long and elegant finish, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or pairing with fine cuisine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This intense and powerful Bonnes Mares Grand Cru from Nicolas Potel is a deep and intense Burgundy with a dark ruby hue.On the nose its aromas of ripe dark fruits, forest floor, and crushed violets are accompanied by toasty oak, truffle, and mineral notes. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is velvety and powerful, with ripe, complex tannins, and a long and lingering finish. Its balance and complexity make it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty meats, game, and aged cheeses.
