Established in 2005, Domaine de Bellene is dedicated to crafting expressive wines from old vines, guided by a strong commitment to sustainable, organic farming. Under the stewardship of winemaker and proprietor of the late Nicolas Potel, the domaine has focused on producing wines that faithfully reflect both place and vintage, while safeguarding the land and its traditions for future generations. Today, Domaine de Bellene is widely respected among Burgundy enthusiasts for its thoughtful range of wines spanning both celebrated and lesser-known appellations.

Named in honour of Nicolas Potel’s great uncle, Jean Ferté—who led the syndicate that purchased Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in 1964, a property historically linked to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti prior to the French Revolution—this cuvée brings together fruit from two estate parcels.

The nose offers fresh aromas of red berry jam and allspice, with subtle, background hints of ruby port. On the palate, vibrant, medium-weight flavours are generous and juicy, supported by fine-grained, gently drying tannins. The finish is fruit-forward and approachable, making this a wine that is drinking well now.

About the Winery

Groupe Bellene

Led by Nicolas Potel in Beaune, Groupe Bellene is composed of the négociant arm Maison Roche de Bellene, the winery arm Domaine de Bellene, and a special back-vintage series under the Collection Bellenum label.

Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of wines, with an emphasis on individual terroirs from old vines of more than 40 years. All of the growers that Nicolas works with are either organic certified or sustainably farmed.
Domaine de Bellene represents the wines that are produced and bottled from Nicolas Potel's private vineyard holdings.
Collection Bellenum is a back vintage series that Nicolas Potel sourced from his friends in the region, offering a magnificent selection of bottled history. The wines have moved only twice in their lives, from the original cellar to Potel's and now to yours!

Nicolas Potel grew up at Volnay's Domaine Pousse d'Or, where his father worked. He trained abroad and returned home in 1996 to build a négociant business and started Maison Nicolas Potel, where he sourced grapes from good parcels, often working with the growers to improve the quality. By 2002, he was making 120 wines from 50 different appellations, and the rest is history!

95 Points (2023) - David Lawrason

This old vine 1er Cru Savigny shows surprisingly deep colour. The nose is lifted, fragrant and floral (lily), with very ripe strawberry/cherry jam, baked plum (actually thought of grenache) barrel spice and toast. It is a mouthful - rich, warm, smooth and refined at the same time. Real power here, with fine tannin balance - almost seamless, and excellent length. Some minerality as well. The length is outstanding. A real mouthful!
