Producer Information
The Domaine Potinet-Ampeau is one of very few to make wine meant to be laid downand to hold vintages in their own cellars to allow them to age correctly before release. The family had strong ties to the American market as early as the 1920s, when Vincents grandmothers family, winemakers in Meursault, were among the first to export to the US. And it was Vincents grandparents who, in 1951, started keeping vins de garde, so the domain always has an impressive array of older vintages on offer. The Domaine Potinet-Ampeau is situated in the village of Monthelie in the southern part of the Cote de Beaune, near to Meursault, Volnay and Auxey-Duresses.The domain works 21.5 acres and produces as much red as white in appellations in the villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, Volnay, Pommard and Monthelie. The vines are on average 30 years old, and the vineyards are plowed (without herbicides) and treated reasonably with natural compounds.
