    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.

    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)

    Good bright, deep red. Aromas of black raspberry, rose petal and menthol show an almost liqueur-like ripeness. Then wonderfully sappy and vinous in the mouth, with a powerful crushed stone element giving punch to the creamy mid-palate. This is in the style of Potel's Lavaux Saint-Jaques, offering outstanding precision and class and a powerful impression of energy. Can't quite match the Chambertin for sheer grip but this wine is like a wake-up call to the taste buds. (The Griottes-Chambertin, which finished its malo later, was quite youthfully clenched and oaky, and impossible to assess with confidence.)

    Jancis Robinson (18.5)

    Barrel sample. Mid cherry red. Sweet oak spice dominates the nose at first but with aeration the red fruit soars from the glass. Utterly seductive. Rich but dry on the palate, a lovely counterbalance between the fresh, vibrant fruit and the dry, tannic finesse. Scented on the palate, where the oak seems to disappear. Gorgeous.

    Jancis Robinson (18)

    Barrel sample. Greyish deep crimson. Like the Échezeaux, this smells of luxury but here it is darker and a little more oaky on the nose, very dark fruit profile. On the palate, dark, dense and savoury, a little charry, peppery, spiced, but the tannins are unexpectedly fine and supple even if the oak has thickened them slightly. Long, savoury aftertaste. Needs a lot of time.

    Vinous (91-93)

    (100% vendange entier; 100% new oak):Dark red-ruby. Deep, brooding aromas of medicinal black cherry, licorice and black pepper suggest a very concentrated wine. Denser and more powerful than the Beaux Monts but extremely primary, even a bit youthfully brutal, today. This extremely tactile, extract-rich wine displays serious concentration and outstanding potential but will need extended aging to express itself fully. Tannins are mouthcoating but not dry.

    Vinous (91-93)

    The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges 1er Cru is nicely focused on the elegant, pure nose, which features perfumed black cherries, raspberry and incense aromas - quintessential Vosne-Romanée aromatics. The palate is well balanced with a silky entry, fine weight in the mouth and a succulent, high-toned but not excessive finish. The opulence is pitched just right. Superb. This benefits from being located at high altitude in a warm growing season.
