About this Item

Roche de Bellene
Charmes-Chambertin, 2014
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Nicolas Potel came from a winemaking family who produced renowned Burgundy wines. He also gained invaluable experience at wineries both in France and abroad before starting his own venture. After his father’s death in 1997, Nicolas created his own wine trading company, La Maison Nicolas Potel. For financial reasons, the company was sold in the 2000s but this did not stop Nicolas. He turned his efforts to concentrate on his own domaine, Domaine de Bellene, and the creation of his négociant business, Maison Roche de Bellene. Both have succeeded in their own right. His domaine consists of 18 hectares of vineyards, which follow organic practices and with an emphasis on individual terroirs, he produces expressive, terroir-driven wines.

Critics Ratings

‘Produced from a parcel of less than a third of an acre, this wine comes from 30-year-old vines. It is properly dark and dense, with great tannins and rich black fruits. The 18 months in wood show in the spice and the complex texture. This serious wine will age for many years. Drink from 2024.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 96/100 (Dec 2016)

‘A discreet application of wood sets off a moderately soil-inflected and attractively complex nose that evidences notes of spice, plum, forest floor and pretty wild red berry scents. There is excellent punch and detail to the velvet-textured middle weight flavors that terminate in a firm, ever-so-mildly rustic and austere finish. This is not especially dense or imposing but I like the complexity and overall balance.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Apr 2017)
