Burgundy Maison Roche de Bellene

Our committee's review

An emblematic figure of Burgundy and respected by all, Nicolas Potel achieved the remarkable feat of bringing Maison Bellene — both estate and négociant — to the highest level after the sale of his family estate, Domaine de la Pousse d’Or.

A great winemaker, he championed a viticulture free of dogma but always demanding. His wines were graceful, perfumed and profound, marked by perfect ripeness and constant elegance. His sudden passing was a shock to the wine world and to VALAP, where he was a close and trusted partner.

Today, his children — Alphonse, Antonia and Émilien — carry on his legacy with the same passion and rigor, guided by his spirit and his high standards. The wines to come will continue to reflect the style and refinement that defined Nicolas Potel.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Red unfolds with striking finesse, opening on ripe aromas of wild raspberry and pink pepper. The palate is compact and focused, offering a concentrated core supported by firm tannins and excellent balance. Notes of red berries dominate, fresh and precise, carried by a taut, well-structured frame. This is a serious, refined wine, impeccably made and built to age beautifully for up to 10 years. Rated 95/100 by our Selection Committee.
