Tasting Notes

Very pale rust red. Nutty (hazelnuts?) and very warm and rich on the palate. Smells much richer than it looks. Lovely freshness. Forest-floor stuff. Utterly transparent to the eye and palate. Admirable! Great stuff. Firm finish. Classic mature Volnay. Just lovely.

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.
