Nicolas Potel Bourgogne blanc

The Chardonnay grapes are selected in the vineyard and, after gentle pressing, undergo cold settling for 24 hours at 8 °C. Following a racking to remove gross lees, the wine ferments in stainless-steel tanks with selected yeasts under temperature control (16–18 °C). Ageing takes place mainly in steel, with 20% in oak barrels for around 10–12 months on fine lees.

Bright pale yellow with greenish/golden hues. The nose is fresh and aromatic, with white flowers, white/pit fruit and subtle mineral and citrus hints. On the palate it is lively, dry and mineral, with good freshness, a slight creaminess from lees ageing and a persistent finish with very discreet vanilla notes.
