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.

Hailing from the Volnay lieu-dit adjacent to Pommard's Le Poisot. A fresh and airy nose is comprised by notes of red and dark berries along with plenty of newly turned earth character. The caressing, delicious and vibrant flavours possess very good volume before terminating in a mildly austere and sneaky long finish. This possesses fine development potential and overall, it is a Volnay villages to consider. 

About the vintage: A difficult vintage to say the least, but not one 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.

95 Points - John Szabo, MS

From a Volnay lieu-dit planted in 1985, Potel's Grand Poisot 2021 is a beautifully detailed and fine-grained wine, the epitome of balance and poise, with a sapidity that runs from start to long finish, drawing saliva and desire for additional sips along the way. Neither reductive nor oxidative, it finds a comfortable and attractive milieu, displaying a range of bright, tart red fruit mixed with gentle spice, with the influence of oak (20% new) fully integrated into the ensemble. Tannins are silky-smooth, acids comfortable and length excellent. A Volnay of classical proportions, refreshingly fresh and refined after several years in a row of superripe, concentrated wines, a nostalgic call back to earlier times. Best 2025-2035
