The Domaine Potinet-Ampeau is one of very few estates that makes wine meant to be laid downand that holds the vintages in their own cellars to allow them to age correctly before release.
Vincent Durrieu is the fifth generation of this family to work the estate, continuing with very traditional Burgundian methods.
The family had strong ties to the American market as early as the 1920s, when Vincent’s grandmother’s family, winemakers in Meursault, were among the first to export to the US.
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.
