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.

This plot of Pinot Noir, planted in 1985 on clay soil, has been organically farmed since 2006. It displays an intense colour and a bright, aromatic profile, offering fresh scents of cherries and raspberry compote, complemented by floral accents and delicate spice. The wine's structure is both elegant and balanced, featuring fine tannins and lively acids that create a fresh, harmonious mouthfeel. On the palate, the fruit intertwines with soft notes of violets and iris, culminating in a long, persistent finish.

93 Points - John Szabo, MS

Fine, delicate and fragrant in the Volnay style, Potel's '23 Les Grand Poisots is a sleek and fluid wine yet with firm underlying girding, fine-grained but high-tensile tannins, a sort of carbon fiber-like structure, light but very strong. I love the morello cherry fruit and the saliva-inducing acids, and especially the wet limestone and bloody-iron-tinged flavours. Length is very good to excellent. This should reach drinking peak relatively early I'd say given the current appeal, or hold into the mid-late 30s
