 |  | Château de Cary Potet Bourgogne Rouge | 2019 Burgundy, France 12.5% ABV | Regular Price: $26 |  |
Finding affordable gems in Burgundy is one of my favorite challenges of being a wine merchant, and the wines of the Chalonnaise, in southern Burgundy, offer happy hunting grounds. This region is steeped in tradition and still boasts a large array of family farms and micro-production estates which offer amazing quality and outstanding value. The Château de Cary Potet Bourgogne rouge is a textbook example of Pinot Noir in the Chalonnaise: clean, refreshing and brimming with fruit, but also possessing depth, persistence and intensity. Here is a perfect wine from Burgundy that delivers superb quality at a "petit" price; the type of wine that I can take home nightly to enjoy with my wife, Gigi, with a wide variety of foods. It is ideal for a piece of tuna seared in a ripping hot pan or herb crusted lamb chops. Delicious! |
| Twelve Generations of Know-How  Château de Cary Potet is located in Buxy in the Côte Chalonnaise, about 40 minutes south of Beaune. The château is one of the oldest in the Chalonnaise, having owned by the Du Besset family since the 15th century. In the 1970's, the Desfontaine family purchased the château and it has been in their hands ever since. The geneological records of the family show that the Desfontaines have been winegrowers for 12 generations, since 1592! Today, brothers Xavier and Arnaud run the estate with their mother, Véronique, making extraordinary Chardonnay from Montagny and exceptional Pinot Noir from Mercurey. Together, Véronique and her boys epitomize the tradition, quality and family-focus that is abundant in the Chalonnaise. |
The Excellence of the Chalonnaise  The 2019 Château de Cary Potet Bourgogne rouge, made from 100% Pinot Noir, pours a light ruby red with crimson reflections. On the nose, aromas of roses, cherries and red berries waft from the glass. Medium-bodied with pillowy tannins and a refined, delicate acidity, the Bourgogne rouge showcases excellent balance of fresh and ripe fruit flavors of raspberry and red plum tinged with a subtle savory spice note on the finish. This a gorgeous example of the approachability, deliciousness and drinkablility of wines from the Chalonnaise. Enjoy with braised rabbit, baked salmon or roasted pork loin. |
