This is no ordinary Cote de Nuits-Villages. Potel owns this parcel, hence the "Domaine" moniker. Organically farmed, 74-year-old vines in the limestone-rich soils of the village of Comblanchien, which is just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Jancis Robinson captures the wine’s personality well: "liqueur-like aromas of blue Pinot fruit, plum and game. Otherwise the medium weight flavors possess a beguiling texture as the dense extract both coats the palate and pushes the moderately firm tannins to the background on the remarkably persistent finish where traces of rusticity and warmth arrive." Perfect for near term drinking, especially when double decanted. Superb value for lovers of earthy Burgundies.
