Founded in 2005, Domaine de Bellene focuses on crafting wines from old vines with a commitment to sustainable, organic farming. Winemaker and proprietor Nicolas Potel's approach emphasizes producing wines that authentically reflect their origins and vintages, while preserving the land and culture for future generations. Under his leadership, Domaine de Bellene has earned respect among Burgundy enthusiasts, offering wines from both renowned and lesser-known appellations.
Planted in 1937, this plot lies in the heart of Suchots, adjacent to Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and has been organically farmed since joining the estate, with the soil maintained through horse plowing and sustainable practices. The nose reveals ripe, menthol-tinged aromas of black cherry liqueur, spice, and delicate notes of lavender. On the palate, the rich, focused flavours offer a seductive, mouth-filling texture balanced by the wine's firm, acidic backbone. The finish is powerful, dusty, and long, delivering impressive length.
