Gevrey-Chambertin makes Burgundy’s most powerful and darkly concentrated Pinot Noir, and the 2020 vintage, born from a hot, dry summer that produced exceptional depth and structure, plays directly to that character. Potel’s Premier Cru selection draws from the village’s most serious mid-slope sites, where the Bathonian limestone and brown clay soils of Gevrey produce wines of remarkable grip and longevity. The 2020 shows it all: dense and dark in the glass, with crushed blackberry, black cherry, woodsmoke, licorice, and a curl of iron on the nose, the palate muscular and concentrated with firm tannins that beg for time. This is not a wine to rush. Decant generously if you’re opening it now, or better yet, celllar it through 2028 and let it fully unfurl. A serious Premier Cru from a serious vintage. Don’t miss it.
