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.

This wine comes from a 40-acre parcel planted in 2004 within Clos Rousseau. Favourable climatic conditions and vineyard topography encourage the development of noble rot in a small portion of the fruit (approximately 2%), lending an exotic aromatic lift. Subtle oak integration adds notes of sweet spice and toasted hazelnut on the nose, while the palate delivers good density and texture, with mid-weight flavours that mirror the aromatics and lead into a gently pithy, mineral-tinged finish.
