Founded in 2005, Domaine de Bellene focuses on crafting wines from old vines with a commitment to sustainable, organic farming. Winemaker and proprietor Nicolas Potel's approach emphasizes producing wines that authentically reflect their origins and vintages, while preserving the land and culture for future generations. Under his leadership, Domaine de Bellene has earned respect among Burgundy enthusiasts, offering wines from both renowned and lesser-known appellations.

Named in honour of Nicolas Potel’s Great Uncle, Jean Ferté, who led a syndicate that purchased Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in 1964, historically a part of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti until the French Revolution. This cuvée combines two estate plots, resulting in fresh scents of red berry jam and allspice with discreet shades ruby port just perceptible in the background. The vibrant, medium weight flavours are generous and juicy, underlined by fine-grained, slightly drying tannins. Fruit forward on the finish and ready to drink.

95 Points - 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!
