Established in 2005, Domaine de Bellene is dedicated to crafting expressive wines from old vines, guided by a strong commitment to sustainable, organic farming. Under the stewardship of winemaker and proprietor of the late Nicolas Potel, the domaine has focused on producing wines that faithfully reflect both place and vintage, while safeguarding the land and its traditions for future generations. Today, Domaine de Bellene is widely respected among Burgundy enthusiasts for its thoughtful range of wines spanning both celebrated and lesser-known appellations.

Since 2009, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Villages cuvée has been sourced from four distinct climats, with the vineyards having undergone extensive restructuring to support a full transition to organic farming. The nose opens with fresh black berry aromas, accented by subtle ferrous notes and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, medium-weight, ripe fruit flavours are gently framed by fine-grained tannins, while a mineral thread re-emerges on the finish, lingering with poise and elegance.

Press Reviews

94 Points - John Szabo, MS

From vines planted in 1952, harvested quite early, in the first days of September and aged in 25% new wood. The result is, like many 2022s, a ripe and fruity, almost monolithic example - I find it hard to distinguish terroirs in this vintage, though this has a significant degree of flesh and complexity, and in the end, it stands out for its cool limestone character, a sort of stoniness that other wines do not seem to possess, and indeed a strong sense of sapidity, salinity and minerality. Sharp value. Drink 2027-2034.

94 Points - David Lawrason

This is from a vineyard planted in the 1950s. It shows a very pretty nose with classic NSG blackcurrant fruit (as opposed to cherry elsewhere), fresh herbs, a slight meatiness and iodine, and wood spice. It is medium weight, firm, warm and tannic - excellent structure and flavour in-fill. It has the rugged ambiance expected of this famous appellation. Best 2028 to well into the 30s.
