Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer in Burgundy. He grew up in a family dedicated entirely to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's.

Clos de Vougeot, also known as Clos Vougeot, is a wall-enclosed vineyard, a clos, in the Burgundy wine region, and an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) for red wine from this vineyard. It was named for the River Vouge separating the village Vougeot from Chambolle-Musigny. At 50.6 hectares (125 acres),Clos de Vougeot is the largest single vineyard in Côte de Nuits entitled to the grand cru designation, while Corton in Côte de Beaune is the largest grand cru in Burgundy as a whole.

Pair this wine with mild cheeses, chicken or rabbit in a creamy mustard sauce or mushroom risotto.

Starting to open now, Bellene's 2015 Clos de Vougeot, from a tiny, 0.026ha parcel of 35-50 year-old vines (just a few hundred bottles) and aged in a new barrique, is a flat out gorgeous wine, so full and fleshy on the palate, ripe but sapid, with an underlying salinity that draws you in again and again. Tannins are marvelously well integrated, so fine and refined, an expression of silk in pure form, while a range of sweet red fruit, raspberry and strawberry purée, and exotic spice, from cardamon to cinnamon bark contribute yet another layer of flavour on the tension-filled but inviting and comfortable frame. Admittedly, this very large grand cru doesn't always perform at a level commensurate to its fame and average price, but here's an example which makes the case for this being one of the world's best pinot noir vineyards. Outstanding wine. Best 2025-2045+. Tasted January 2023.
