Tasting notes
There’s just one barrel of this Griotte-Chambertin, which Nicolas Potel feels more promising and more than delivers in the glass. With a deep red fruit bouquet of wild berries, raspberry and dark cherry, it’s medium-bodied but opulent, with fine-grained tannins and more crunchy cherry fruit. Fabulously well-balanced, the finish is vibrant with an extraordinary spectrum of fruit. Worth every penny. Gorgeous! One barrel produced.

Cask sample. Pale to mid cherry. Light, lofty perfume. Flowers and soft red fruits. Filigree in appearance but a concentrated core. Length. (MH)
