Nicolas Potel started out with a successful negotiant business in 1996 and has since been known to produce some of the most best-valued Burgundies. He developed an extensive sourcing network for high-quality grapes and the skills to produce fantastic Burgundies at excellent price tags. Due to financial hardship, he decided to sell his business to the Cottin brothers of Labouré-Roi in 2004 and continued to produce wines under the label until he set up a new label Roche de Bellene in 2008 to continue his magnificent business in Beaune. With the new label, Nicolas Potel has been aggressively working on biodynamic...

We were lucky to sample a remarkable bottle of Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots 2014 during the weekend, it has lovely and energetic aromas of spices and violet, followed with long and rising finish which is a serious Vosne-Romanee wine with high completeness. Lucien Le Moine only source their grapes from 1er Cru and Grand Cru plots, and do everything by hand. The winemaking philosophy is to produce wines of exceptional purity, and they do just that - their wines are excellent and focused and reflect the unique terroir from which each came. They gained a reputation for crafting some...

They own a large plot in Chambolle-Musigny and in fact they are the largest owner of Les Amoureuses.

The plots in Gevrey-Chambertin are village wines made in...

Under the lousy weather, we hope you're safe & sound at home, not at work, or not stranded somewhere because of Talim! Often regarded as the most "feminine" wine of the Cote de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny was one of the first French vineyards to be designated as an AOC and the wines produced here are often found to offer intensity and delicacy as well as elegance and subtlety. Two superb appellations Grands Crus are grown here: Bonnes-Mares, which links its vineyards to those of Morey-Saint-Denis, and Musigny which overlooks the Clos de Vougeot. The village also boasts among its fine wines a prestigious Premier Cru,...
