Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer and pioneer in the Burgundy winemaking scene. He grew up in a family dedicated to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's. The Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of carefully cultivated and versatile wines, often made from old vines. All of the Maison wines are made with respect to sustainable and natural farming practices, with as little intervention as necessary to showcase their individual terroirs.

Potel created the Bellenum Collection to offer exceptional wines at an affordable price. These wines highlight the developmental stages of specific vintages and showcase the diversity of Burgundy's climats. He selected the best crus and cuvées from over 2,500 wines, featuring notable vintages from as early as 1959. 

This Clos Vougeot Grand Cru presents a beautifully mature yet vibrant character, perfectly balancing ripe fruit with developing savoury nuances. On the palate, it shows impressive density for its age, offering juicy layers of cherry and pomegranate, enhanced by delicate floral notes of rose hip and the tangy brightness of tamarind. The oak is finely integrated, playing a secondary role that allows the elegance of the Pinot Noir to take centre stage. Refined and harmonious, the wine’s complexity unfolds with each sip.

There's potential to cellar this wine further, though it's drinking exceptionally well now. Sip this sophisticated Pinot with delicate cured meats like prosciutto or pâté, or mild, aged cheeses.
