Nicolas Potel Meursault

Tasting Notes Nicolas Potel Meursault

A delicate nose with aromas of roasted almond and praline, a hint of vanilla and melted butter. A creamy and rich mouthfeel and long finish. The typical marl limestone soil, together with 12 months of aging in French oak, creates a formidable wine. Golden yellow in color. Can easily mature for several more years in the cellar to reveal its complete beauty.

Wine & Food Pairing

Nicolas Potel Meursault pairs fantastically with lobster thermidor or a Coulibiac with salmon and, of course, Escargots à la Bourguignonne, what else? Tip: do not chill the wine too much. Serving at 12 - 14 degrees is ideal for this beautiful wine.

Additional Information

The Nicolas Potel winery was founded in the late 1990s by the son of the legendary winemaker Gerard Potel. The company is now owned by and is the jewel in the crown of Maison Laboure-Roi.

They adhere to sustainable viticulture and source their grapes from, among others, 35+ year old vineyards, biodynamic and organic vineyards where possible. The winemaker follows the biodynamic calendar and creates wines in their own style, to respect the best of their typical individuality. Traditional winemaking, with very little intervention during the process, fermentation with only natural yeasts, limited use of oak, and often partial malolactic fermentation.

Meursault, once called Muris Saltus, "the mouse's leap" (sic) by the Romans, but of course only famous for its brilliant wines. Located in the center of the Côte de Beaune. Together with the wines from Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet, this represents the best in the world in terms of Chardonnay. Maison Nicolas Potel upholds the village's honor with its Meursault.
