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 cuvée is crafted from a blend of three distinct vineyard plots, revealing ripe aromas of dark cherry and pomegranate interwoven with warm earthy undertones. On the palate, it is voluminous, featuring integrated tannins that provide a subtle drying sensation to the lush, sappy fruit. The finish is vibrant and expressive, marked by youthful exuberance.

About the Winery

Groupe Bellene

Led by Nicolas Potel in Beaune, Groupe Bellene is composed of the négociant arm Maison Roche de Bellene, the winery arm Domaine de Bellene, and a special back-vintage series under the Collection Bellenum label. 

  • Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of wines, with an emphasis on individual terroirs from old vines of more than 40 years. All of the growers that Nicolas works with are either organic certified or sustainably farmed.
  • Domaine de Bellene represents the wines that are produced and bottled from Nicolas Potel's private vineyard holdings. 
  • Collection Bellenum is a back vintage series that Nicolas Potel sourced from his friends in the region, offering a magnificent selection of bottled history. The wines have moved only twice in their lives, from the original cellar to Potel's and now to yours!

Nicolas Potel grew up at Volnay's Domaine Pousse d'Or, where his father worked. He trained abroad and returned home in 1996 to build a négociant business and started Maison Nicolas Potel, where he sourced grapes from good parcels, often working with the growers to improve the quality. By 2002, he was making 120 wines from 50 different appellations, and the rest is history!

Press Reviews

92 Points - John Szabo, MS

A very pretty and refined Savigny old vines from domaine vines, always a solid bottling from Nicolas Potel, and attractively priced. 2022 was a warm vintage to be sure, but there's impressive balance and poise here, a purity of cherry fruit, a suppleness of tannins and comfort of the acids that beguiles. Length and depth are very good, and it's drinking remarkably well even at this early stage - it won't be a vintage for the long term I feel, but there will be considerable pleasure up front.
