Bottle Per Case : 6 x 750 ml
"The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes has a generous bouquet with hints of citrus fruit, dried apricot and a hint of white chocolate, perhaps a bouquet with wider appeal compared to the Folatières. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, superb weight in the mouth with limestone-tinged citrus fruit, great tension and superb sustain on the finish. This is one of Nicolas Potel's best contributions to the vintage and it comes strongly recommended."

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.
