2010 such a great vintage. But still nothing compares to the Potel era of Pousse d’Or!

Silky, luscious fruit with blueberry cassis and coffee. Perfect now. Big.

My first post-Gérard Potel Bousse d'Or. Lovely, though it'll be much better in 5 years.

A recommendation from the staff here at Le Villaret, this took about 5-10 minutes to blow off a little funk, but then really opened up to reveal a beautiful palate of dried cherries and earth. Terrific.

Sour cherries and cherry compote, earthy, floral, candied. Similar nose to the Bonne Mares we had a few days ago. Just a touch darker and wild. Then again, it is 2010... my favorite plot for Pousse d'Or. With time, the acidity feels more prominent while mid palate became thinner.

Very bright acidity, bright fruit, no terroir or earthy notes.
