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.
