    Roche de Bellene

    About Maison Roche de Bellene

    Renowned winemaker Nicolas Potel (son of Pousse d'Or's Gerard Potel) heads up a number of successful winemaking ventures in the Cote d'Or including his own Domaine de Bellene, his negociant business Maison Roche de Bellene, and a more recent specially curated collection of finished wines, which are a part of his "Collection Bellenum." Potel has endeavoured to make the most of his finely honed tasting skills and wildly impressive list of contacts in the Cote d’Or with Collection Bellenum. Unlike the domaine wines of his Domaine de Bellene or his negociant wines, Maison Roche de Bellene, Collection Bellenum, is a carefully cultivated and constantly evolving range of wines which he has sourced straight from other producer’s cellars provenance.

    A pioneer of a great many things in the region, his groundbreaking viticultural techniques to improve ripeness and concentration have been adopted across the whole of Burgundy. A significant proportion of the improved quality of wines and winemaking in the home of Pinot Noir is largely thanks to the Potel family.

    An iconic personality of the Burgundian winemaking scene. He, alongside his late father, were really the pioneers of the great trend we are currently witnessing of winemaking dynasties moving away from cooperative-style producers to domaines (i.e. purchasing and cultivating their own holdings). Whilst naturally an extremely expensive shift to make, it without doubt allows for total control from vine to bottle and, in turn, superior quality wine.

    A true master of that most prized aspect of Burgundian winemaking - an expression of individual terroir. Nicolas Potel was making 120 wines from 50 different appellations by the age of 33! Prodigious talent has now been mixed with vast experience, and year-after-year Maison Roche de Bellene makes some of the most coveted wines in Burgundy.

    Winery note: The Premier Cru vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges are divided into sections.
Damodes is positioned on the north side of the village immediately above Boudots (which sits adjacent to possibly Burgundies greatest premier Cru Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts) and on the border with Vosne-Romanée
The vineyard is on the upper slope with well-draining soil. The wines, whilst clearly made in the style of Nuits-Saint-Georges, show an influence from Vosne-Romanée next door. Notable floral notes and black fruit flavours.

    Jancis Robinson (17.5)

    Barrel sample. Deep cherry red. Such a contrast with the Grands Échezeaux just tasted. It is ripe but not nearly as savoury on the nose. There’s deep, dark-red fruit, seductive floral notes that trump the oak spice. Likewise on the palate, there some chocolate-like sweetness from the oak but the fruit sings. Extremely fine tannins, supple and shapely, and a long, fresh aftertaste. An embryonic beauty.

    Quite pale. Very rich and well contained. He is so lucky to get this much grand cru fruit! The merest hint of cocoa powder but basically this is a very attractive, if fairly lightweight, Chambertin. I suspect it is not good value. It’s not that long.

    Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94-97)

    Medium red, a bit less deep than the Clos de Beze. Medicinal raspberry, red cherry, flowers, crushed stone and a minty nuance on the nose; quite ethereal and perfumed, with little sign of the gamey, earthy side of this great grand cru. At once velvety and sharply etched, combining penetrating sweetness with terrific grip. Finishes with outstanding palate-staining perfume, a suggestion of menthol and noble tannins. Wonderfully delicate and light on its feet for all its power.

    Vinous (93-96)

    Deep red-ruby. Captivating, high-pitched nose offers blackberry, rose petal, curry powder and white pepper, with sexy oak in the background. Silky on entry, then pungent and penetrating in the mid-palate, with superb intensity and clarity to the flavors of raspberry, minerals, rose petal, licorice and spices. This boasts marvelous inner-mouth floral perfume, with a saline, iodiney quality adding another element of complexity on the brisk, palate-staining. High class!

    Vinous (93)

    (true Charmes): Deep, bright red. Dark berries, licorice and violet on the perfumed nose, with a hint of exotic oak. Sappy, chewy and concentrated, showing excellent energy and a weighless impression to the flavors of dark berries, flowers and saline minerality. Distinctly sweeter and more pliant than the Clos Vougeot from Maison Roche de Bellene but this tactile, extract-rich wine is built to age. Finishes with ripe but firm tannins and lingering sweetness. A lovely expression of Charmes terroir.

    Vinous (92-95)

    Full red-ruby color. Captivating aromas of blueberry, dried flowers, brown spices, smoke and flint. Big, rich and deep, with serious volume as well as outstanding penetration and verve to its flavors of cassis, black cherry, smoke, minerals and wild herbs. An impressive spine of acids and tannins gives this grand cru a serious structure for extended bottle aging. 92-95.

    Vinous (92-95)

    Bright deep red. Knockout perfume of sexy brown spices and rose petal. Sappy but youthfully imploded, with the powerful brown spice character carrying through on the palate. Boasts uncanny sweetness and purity, not to mention inner-mouth lift and saline complexity, but this wine will require several years of cellaring. Most impressive today on the building, palate-staining pepper-and-spice finish.

    Vinous (89-91)

    Medium red. Rich, ripe aromas of red berries, smoked meat and earth; smells like a higher pH than the last few samples. Broad, ripe and dry in the mouth, and not yet filled in. More smoky oak, caramel and salty tones today than primary fruit. Oak tannins are noticeable on the finish. Perhaps in an awkward stage today, but I wanted more fruit.

    Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)

    Deep red-ruby. Cherry liqueur, crushed rock, exotic spices and a lightly medicinal quality on the nose. Dense, velvety and sweet, with terrific vinosity and underlying spine intensifying the black cherry and dark berry flavors. Quite sweet on the back end, with the substantial tannins arriving late. This wine includes fruit from five different sources and very different sites, according to Potel. Splendid potential.
