Tasting Notes

Deep orangey gold. Some real richness and tang. Noble! Not quite up to a DRC Montrachet of the same year"¦ but this is very upright and glorious. Still with lots of life and density. Masses of extract but still with lots of luscious fruit too. Excellent persistence. Very fresh.

The Producer

Maison Roche De Bellène

Maison Roche de Bellene serves as the trading name for Nicolas Potel, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy who is also the creative force behind Domaine de Bellene. Established in 2009, Roche de Bellene focuses on showcasing distinct terroirs from old vines (40 years or more) cultivated with a sense of responsibility. All the growers collaborating with Nicolas adhere to either certified organic practices or follow the principles of sustainable viticulture, known as lutte raisonée. This commitment allows Nicolas to consistently craft wines that embody his vision, characterized by expression and a deep connection to the terroir.

In addition to Maison Roche de Bellene, Nicolas initiated another venture called 'Collection Bellenum.' This project involves a selection of older vintages from renowned Burgundy producers, carefully chosen from their wine cellars. These rare wines are a testament to a rigorous selection process. The name Bellene is derived from Bellenos, an ancient Gallic god associated with sun and beauty. Notably, the city of Beaune had its roots as 'Bellena' during Roman times, transformed into 'Bellene' in the Middle Ages, and eventually translated to Beaune.
