Nicolas bought this parcel planted in 1913, and his first vintage was 2004. There is a superb selection-at-large which lends a fat and ample character associated with old vines to this cuvée. Five other parcels, purchased with the typically strict Potel nose for quality, have vines aged 50 to 70 years. Total production is 1,500 cases per year.

Food Match: roasts, pork, grilled meats, duck, beef, veal, white meats.

Burghound A gentle touch of wood frames the earthy yet elegant dark berry fruit aromas nuanced by freshly turned earth notes that continue onto the rich, full and forward flavors that offer excellent volume, underpinned by suave tannins and a firm mineral streak that surfaces on the nice persistent finish. This is quite rich if not overly precise and is more a generous wine with depth. (87-90)/2010+ Score: 90. —Allen Meadows, October 2006.
