2022 Nicolas Potel Domaine de Bellene Santenay Les Charmes Dessus, Cote de Beaune, France

Here’s a detailed profile of the 2022 Nicolas Potel Domaine de Bellene Santenay Les Charmes Dessus, a white Burgundy crafted from old-vine Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune:

Tasting Notes

Nose :- Fresh and mineral-driven with aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and crushed stone. Subtle floral notes of hawthorn and acacia. Hints of brioche and light oak toast from barrel aging

Palate :- Medium-bodied and elegant with flavors of pear, green apple, and citrus. A fine thread of saline minerality and chalky texture. Well-integrated acidity supports a creamy mid-palate with touches of hazelnut and vanilla

Finish :- Long and precise with lingering citrus peel, wet stone, and a whisper of almond skin

100% Chardonnay from sustainably farmed old vines

Aged in a mix of French oak barrels, with minimal intervention to preserve terroir
