Nicolas Potel Pouilly-Fuissé 2022

Nicolas Potel is a well-known name in Burgundy, beloved for crafting wines that unite terroir expression, purity, and finesse. His Pouilly-Fuissé 2022 hails from the southern part of Burgundy, in the Mâconnais region. This appellation, nestled among the limestone hills of Fuissé and Vergisson, is famous for its lively and rich Chardonnays with pronounced minerality and ripe fruit character.

Tasting Note

Nose

The nose is refined and expressive, offering aromas of white peach, lime blossom, and fresh lemon. Beneath those, subtle notes of toasted hazelnuts, wet limestone, and a hint of vanilla emerge.

Palate

The entry is lively and fresh, followed by a smooth, silky texture. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, almond, and light oak unfold in harmonious balance. The wine feels energetic yet composed, with fine tension and length.

Finish

The finish is crisp and mineral, with refreshing acidity and a touch of salinity that lingers. A precise, modern style that still stays true to the essence of Pouilly-Fuissé.

Nicolas Potel

Born into a winemaking family as the son of the respected Gérard Potel, Nicolas Potel grew up among the vines and quickly carved out his own path. After gaining experience both in Burgundy and abroad, he launched his own label with the goal of producing high-quality, terroir-driven Burgundies that are accessible and authentic. Nicolas collaborates with small growers who work sustainably and with respect for the land. His Pouilly-Fuissé 2022 is a great example of his approach: clear, pure, and subtly oaked to highlight the expression of the grape. It’s a wine that appeals to both lovers of classic Burgundy and those seeking a fresher, modern style.
