The estate and the wine |
|
|
Roche de Bellene is a top-tier estate. Its founder, Nicolas Potel, crafts some of the most sensual wines in Burgundy. With very old vines, meticulous winemaking that respects each vineyard’s unique character, and subtle ageing techniques, every detail is finely tuned to produce wines of remarkable depth and precision, with genuinely expressive and generous fruit.
The current level of quality is nothing short of extraordinary, and Olivier Poussier is enthusiastic about each of these wines. Even the regional wines reflect an impressive commitment to excellence. |

Fresh and refined, the 2022 Burgundy Chardonnay White is crafted from perfectly ripe grapes and showcases a vibrant minerality. Its delicate, pure, and crisp nose offers shell-like aromas interwoven with floral notes, all supported by a very subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it delivers smooth, tangy freshness with good density, while remaining light and easy-drinking—enjoyable now and over the next five years. A favorite of the Selection Committee, rated 92/100. |
