Burgundy Roche de Bellene

Our committee's review

A true icon of Burgundy and respected by all, Nicolas Potel achieved the remarkable feat of bringing Maison Bellene — both estate and négociant — to the very highest level after the sale of his family estate, Domaine de la Pousse d’Or. This masterful winemaker championed a viticulture free of dogma but never of rigor. He crafted graceful, perfumed, and profound wines with beautiful ripeness and unfailing 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 discipline, guided by his spirit and high standards. The wines to come will continue to reflect the style and refinement that defined Nicolas Potel’s signature.

Don’t miss this Red Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits, rated 93+/100 by the Selection Committee, available at under 15 euros.

The 2023 Red Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits opens with a delicate profile, very lightly oaked, and marked by enticing aromas of morello cherry and red fruit. The texture balances depth with finesse, supported by fine-grained tannins. A beautiful bottle to enjoy now or cellar for another five years. Rated 93+/100 by the Selection Committee.
