Domaine de Bellene is the creation of Nicolas Potel – the son of the legendary Gérard Potel of Domaine Pousse d’Or. Potel's name has become synonymous with Burgundian wine and he is known for constantly challenging the borders of traditional winemaking in the region.

The Quartier des Nuits' plot covers a tiny 0.3 hectare parcel planted in 1927 where the  wines have ideal east-southeast exposure. Close in proximity to the famous Clos de Vougeot and Echezeaux the plot has been converted into organic farming since coming into the Domaine de Bellene fold.

This wine has an extremely floral nose, with a lovely array of spices and red fruit aromas. The palate is earthy and powerful, with hints of mocha coffee. This is a quite powerful Vosne Villages that will evolve beautifully throughout the years.

About the vintage: A difficult vintage to say the least, but not without merit. The region suffered reduced yields from spring frosts and a cool summer, meaning this vintage would have to be won through hard work in the vineyard and in the winery. This is a year of smaller quantities of fresh, refined and thoughtful wines from a full range of climats. A return to a cooler vintage, compared to recent years, will be sure to delight Classic Burgundy lovers who favour elegance and finesse.
