Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer and pioneer in the Burgundy winemaking scene. He grew up in a family dedicated to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's. The Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of carefully cultivated and versatile wines, often made from old vines. All of the Maison wines are made with respect to sustainable and natural farming practices, with as little intervention as necessary to showcase their individual terroirs.  

Harmony, richness, complexity and finesse intertwine in this Vosne-Romanée 1er cru with notes of cherry, strawberry and undergrowth. A dense pinot with a sense of power and structure. This is a wine that will reward patience in the cellar. 

 Pair with chargrilled steak or venison.

96 Points - Michael Godel

Grabbing a piece of Aux Malconsorts is surely a big deal for Nicolas Potel and 2018 is a terrific vintage from which to launch his interpretation of this famed Vosne Romanée Premier Cru. Originally planted in 1610 it is bordered by the Grand Crus La Tâche and Les Gaudichots to the north, Premier Cru Les Chaumes to the East and to the south by Premier Cru Aux Boudots in Nuits-Saint-Georges. A early to average pick on September 13th and a perfectly reasonable 20 per cent new wood because this is some of the most profound fruit for this village. Concentration and depth make for the lightest and most effusive compaction and in a word this is just bloody sublime. The swirl of natural sweetness emits sparks and circulates so many things; floral perfume, salinity, cream of tartare, red berry distillate and pure vanilla. The engagement is next level and the haute-gastronomie a thing of beauty. No evil consorting happening here, only allure. Drink 2025-2038.
