Domaine de Bellene is the creation of Nicolas Potel – the son of the legendary Gérard Potel of Domaine Pousse d’Or. Potel's name has become synonymous with Burgundian wine and he is known for constantly challenging the borders of traditional winemaking in the region.
Meursault Les Forges of Domaine de Bellene is a chardonnay of great class and finesse that comes from 50-year-old vineyards located in the extraordinary Côte de Beaune terroir. The aromatic bouquet stands out for the enveloping notes of honey and vanilla. On the palate it is mineral yet rich with a soft and extremely elegant and slightly chalky finish.
About the vintage: A difficult vintage to say the least, but not without merit. The region suffered reduced yields from spring frosts and a cooler summer, meaning this vintage would have to be won through hard work in the vineyard and in the winery. This is a year of smaller quantities of fresh, refined and thoughtful wines from a full range of climats. A return to a cooler vintage compared to recent years will delight classic Burgundies lovers who favour elegance and finesse.
