Nicolas Potel is a legend of Burgundian wine making that most sadly passed away recently. Having been born IN the famed Pousse d'Or winery, Burgundy was in his blood. He mixed traditional techniques with modernity, was one of the first to champion bio-dynamic techniques and he worked with a number of terroirs.
His latest project was P&A, (Potel and Beaujolais genius Stephane Aviron) which focuses on well made varietals from the South of France, his Chardonnay, Pinot and Grenache/Syrah included here. He worked up and down Burgundy. One from his negociant label - Maison Roche de Bellene Chablis, super classic and delicious. His Domaine label is Domaine de Bellene, serious Burgundy, wax top and utterly delicious and ethereal, Clos le Chapelle is a rich White Burgundy, while Maison Dieu (meaning house of God) is from a family owned Pommard vineyard within the Pousse estate.
