Tasting Notes

94-95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate David Schildknecht - 29 Jun 07
It’s hard to put names on the intense floral and mineral aromatics of Potel’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques but suggestions of rose petal, sea breeze and crushed stone are woven throughout this wine. Salt-crusted red currant, raspberry and beef marrow wreathed in flowers and truffle scents on the palate lead to a mysteriously multi-registered, rarified finish possessed of truly ethereal floral and distilled red fruit notes. The refinement of texture and interplay of flavors here are rather white wine-like. As superb as it is intriguing, I would suggest anyone lucky enough to latch on to a few bottles check it out in at most three more years, as one would not want to miss out on anything that is present now.
