Nicolas Potel Petit Chablis 2022

Nicolas’s father, Gerard, was a famous name in Burgundy (as is Nicolas) and made some wonderful wines. He had many supporters and friends in Australia and there was a time when, if one was travelling to Burgundy, spending a few hours with Gerard was almost compulsory (and a great pleasure). Nicolas has gone out on his own and forged a wonderful reputation, sourcing grapes from all around the region. A winemaker who is definitely worth following, not least because he has, at least to an extent, resisted the headlong rush to insane pricing for his Burgundies. A golden yellow hue, the nose exhibits hints of stone fruits, figs, citrus, lemongrass, peaches and river stones supported by a soft texture with juicy acidity and fine balance, right through to a lingering finish. A most alluring style at the moment, which will drink beautifully over the next five to six years.
