Still on the Burgundy track, wine from another upcoming producer in the glass last evening - Nicolas Potel. Beautiful red colour with a somewhat closed nose of raspberries, mineral and oak. The taste is silky velvety like most Volnays, but the aftertaste was a bit too acidic compared to the other Burgundies recently tasted. Based on that its difficult to give the same high score as for the Chambolle and Beaune 1er cru, but a solid good wine it is respecting the terroir of Volnay. It is also not as good as the Volnay we had at restaurant Maison Blanche in Paris beginning of December which was more even more feminine.
Due to the wintery conditions across most Europe right now I enclose a picture from Burgundy covered in snow. Hard to believe that this could be the home of great red and white wines!
Volnay 2006 Vielles Vignes by Nicolas Potel ca 35€ or 300 NOK a P or around low 17 score.
