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.
Sourced from two vineyard plots, the first called Les Boulardes, covering an area of 39 acres planted in 1954. On the lower slopes, this vineyard is managed using biological methods. The second plot covers an area of 1 hectare in a single plot, planted in 1946 on the mountain side slopes. This cuvee offers heady aromas of black cherries and rose hips underscored by hints of cinnamon bark and cacao nibs. Medium weighted on the palate but firmly textured showing earthy notes of dried tea leaves into the finish. Approachable now but will continue to develop beautifully over the next few years.
