Nicolas Potel

Nicolas Potel's wines have a strong following in the UK, the United States and Japan and for good reason. His wide portfolio of both domaine and négociant wines can be absolutely delicious, as proven by this year's blind tasting back in August, whereupon a couple of his 2011s surpassed more illustrious names. Certainly he has had a rather tumultuous career since the death of his hugely respected and influential father and yet few winemakers exude positivity as much as Nicolas. (…) Nicolas always comes back, reinventing himself with the common theme of top-notch winemaking. (…) Essentially, he wants to return to his roots, those that I am sure he dreamed of when working alongside his father in the 1990s … Potel's range offers something for everyone, whether it is an entry-level Bourgogne Rouge or a Montrachet and the bonus is that they are often well priced.
