Delivery timeline: It requires two full cases of each wine in order for us to build and fulfill two mixed cases. This process usually takes about 7-10 business days but may vary.
Introducing a new Mixed Case of white and red Burgundy wines, carefully curated to showcase the region's renowned terroir and nuanced flavour profiles.
Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer in Burgundy. He grew up in a family dedicated entirely to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's.
Founded in 2009, Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of wines, with an emphasis on individual terroirs from vieilles vignes (old vines - 40 years or older) that are farmed responsibly. All of the growers that Nicolas Potel works with are either organic certified or farming according to the principles of lutte raisonée (“sustainable viticulture”). This enables Potel to consistently produce the expressive, terroir-driven style that is his vision.
Each mixed case includes 6 bottles of each wine.
6 bottles x Maison Roche de Bellene Bourgogne Blanc 'Cuvée Réserve' Chardonnay 2018 (Burgundy, France)
White | Chardonnay
This rich wine offers ripe yellow fruits and touches of vanilla. Along with its warm feeling and light acidity, it has a perfumed character that makes it exciting as well as drinkable. A seriously good vintage here in 2018 as the region escaped the frosts which have plagued recent years. They have a good crop of rich, aromatic whites across the region as a result.
Pairing suggestion: This wine is a nice option for pairing with grilled chicken.
6 bottles x Maison Roche de Bellene Pinot Noir Bourgogne 2021 (Burundy, France)
Red | Pinot Noir
This entry-level red Burgundy comes from vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The vines range in age from 30 to 80 years and are farmed sustainably. Think delicious smashed cherry skins, crunchy acidity and a fresh vibrant intensity. Beneath all the fresh red fruit there is a subtle earthiness and chalky tannins. This old vines Burgundy has finesse and a real quaffable quality.
Pairing suggestion: This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is light enough to pair with salmon but complex enough to accompany duck confit. Try it with earthy-fatty meals like mushroom risotto, grilled trout or gnocchi with ricotta!
