Nicolas Potel Chambertin-Clos de Beze 2000

$29999

When Nicolas Potel founded his namesake négoce in 1997 — the same year his father, the legendary Gérard Potel of Domaine de la Pousse d'Or, died — he opened doors that no other young Burgundian could open. Out of love for Gérard, the great vignerons of the Côte let Nicolas come into their cellars and select the barrels he wanted. That access produced a remarkable run of bottlings through the early 2000s, before he sold the business to Labouré-Roi in 2004, was forced out in 2009, and went on to launch Maison Roche de Bellene. Clos de Bèze sits next to Le Chambertin itself — the two Grand Crus considered the pinnacle of Gevrey. This is mature, fully resolved Grand Cru Burgundy from a vintage now at peak.
