An unforgettable bottle to crown our Taiwan trip. Gerard Potel’s 96’ Jarollières was just emotional and a testament to his mastery - he simply doesn’t miss. My first encounter with this Pommard vineyard revealed a wine less filigreed than Potel’s Volnay bottlings, leaning into darker, earthier tones, yet still imbued with his genius: crystalline purity and weightless intensity.

The nose unfolded sweet dark and red fruits, black tea, dried roses, violets, and a whisper of nutmeg and other spices. On the palate, it had plush, silky textures and extraordinary minerality - perhaps the most mineral-driven Potel I’ve encountered. With air, it deepened and felt livelier, revealing sweet red cherries, smoky tar, and irony minerality intertwined with earthy, tea-like nuances. Zen-like really, as it danced between sweetness and mineral precision, delivering a finish as haunting as it was beautiful. Pure Potel magic. — 3 days ago

Un pinot carré encore sur du fruit frais dominé par la cerise mais bien fondu dans un bouquet de fruits rouges, puis quelques notes fumées et terreuses.

On open is quite vegetal. Needs an hour at this point to smooth out.

Nose: some game. Savory. Some pink and purple flowers.

Palate: savory. Cherries. Really meaty. Interesting. Still fresh but a wine that demands magret du canard.

Also would kill with duck leg confit.

Delightful wine and vintage with deep color and a nose of dark fruit, forest floor and wet granite that truly entertains! Not fruity but with well developed structure in the glass; more tannins than typical of a burgundy because we did not decant the wine in advance and we were drinking a magnum. This wine should be great for another couple of decades! — 2 months ago

2022 vintage. Pedesclaux becomes better and better, and that is also reflected in the second wine. Fleur de Pedesclaux is usually dominated by Merlot, but this 2022 is 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Therefore, it shows a more typical Pauillac character than before, with black fruit (cassis, blackberries), some smokiness, a powerful structure, and serious length. Abv. 14%. Even better the next day. Should age beautifully. — 3 days ago
