Producer Information

Aaron Pott, a veteran of several vineyards in California, is founder of Pott Wine and Huis Clos Consulting, which is dedicated to producing wines from different distinct terroir in the Napa Valley as well as consulting for a limited quantity of notable producers. He completed his education with a master's degree in Viticulture from the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France. Pott then took the position of assistant winemaker at Newton Vineyard,under winemaker John Kongsgaard. It was at Newton--under the wing of his first great mentor--that Pott would be introduced to Michel Rolland. At many tastings with Kongsgaard and Rolland, Aaron tried to convince Rolland to find him a job in France--pulling hoses around a dark cellar and working on his language skills. Rolland soon sent word that he had found the ideal position--winemaker at Chateau Troplong Mondot, Premier Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion. Aaron then became winemaker and GM of Chateau La Tour Figeac Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion. After six years making wine in France, Aaron returned to the States to take a position with Beringer Wine Estates. As a winemaker for the company's international brands in France, Italy and South America, he had the pleasure to work with French winemakers Jean-Louis Mandrau, formerly of Chateau Latour and André Porcheret, whose resume included the Hospice de Beaune and Domaine Leroy. Pott's duties expanded in 2001 as winemaker at St. Clement in St. Helena. In 2004, he accepted the position as winemaker and general manager at Quintessa. In 2007, Pott formed Pott Wine and Huis Clos Consulting.
