Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer and pioneer in the Burgundy winemaking scene. He grew up in a family dedicated to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's. The Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of carefully cultivated and versatile wines, often made from old vines. All of the Maison wines are made with respect to sustainable and natural farming practices, with as little intervention as necessary to showcase their individual terroirs.

Potel created the Bellenum Collection to offer exceptional wines at an affordable price. These wines highlight the developmental stages of specific vintages and showcase the diversity of Burgundy's climats. He selected the best crus and cuvées from over 2,500 wines, featuring notable vintages from as early as 1959.

With age, this wine has developed aromas of dried currants along with earthy undertones of forest floor. The palate reveals delicately balanced components of sweet, developed fruit with finely polished tannins and gentle weight. The finish is smooth and refined, offering the drinker lingering waves of iron-like minerality and a soft persistence of dried florals.  

Serve with braised beef and morels to compliment this wine's mature flavours.
