Maison Roche de Bellene Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2020
We opened Bastille Day this morning with Nicolas Potel's $11 everyday Gamay — and now, deep into the day’s revelry, he's back with the other end of his extraordinary spectrum!!! Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2020. 24 bottles. 58% off retail. Sacré Bleu!!!
Nicolas Potel is BACK again — and this is something else entirely!!! When we opened Bastille Day this morning with that magnificent $11 Bellenos Gamay, some of you may have wondered what Nicolas Potel's almost supernatural sourcing instincts look like at the other end of the spectrum. HERE. IS. YOUR. ANSWER. Twenty-four bottles of Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2020 From a négociant who grew up walking among his father Gérard's revered Pousse d'Or vines and developed, at a cellular level, the instinct for finding extraordinary Burgundy at every tier. This is what that lifetime of knowledge looks like when it reaches the summit!!!
A little context for one of Burgundy's truly sacred sites: Clos de Vougeot is a magnificent 50-hectare walled vineyard — the largest Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits — first planted by Cistercian monks in the 12th century. When they built those stone walls around this extraordinary plot, they weren't drawing a boundary. They were making a declaration. The 2020 vintage has since been called the finest in the Côte d'Or since 2015 — wines of extraordinary power, precision, and pure limestone-driven focus that have had critics reaching for superlatives since the first bottles left the cellar. And Nicolas Potel's access to this hallowed ground is exactly the kind of coup that only a two-decade track record of Grand Cru sourcing can produce!!!
Pure, fresh hay harvested under a blazing sun, and these perfect umeboshi plums announce themselves first — making for one beautifully unique opening — but then the wine unfolds into unmistakably classic Clos de Vougeot: roses and black cherries, ginger and dusty plums, graphite and black tea, with stunning accents of cranberry, orange zest, and pink peppercorn. The finish is taut, long, and staggeringly layered — silky and structured in that impossible Burgundian way that only the finest Grand Cru terroir can pull off. TWO CASES that are sure to be GONE before you finish reading this sentence!!!
Good luck!
