The Story Behind the Bottle
Domaine de Bellene is the craftsmanship of Nicolas Potel, who learned at an early age from his renowned father, Gérard, of Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. He went on to gain experience in Australia and California. His father's early death meant the family estate had to be sold and Nicolas had to build up from nothing. Very gradually he has added to his vineyards and now has 24 hectares, from Santenay to Vosne-Romanée, all old-vine (over 40 years) and farmed organically – he takes his environmental responsibility very seriously. His wines are described as "absolutely delicious" (Neal Martin), “in the class of the very best that Burgundy can produce,”(Jasper Morris MW). His white Santenay is ripe and expressive, creamy and mineral. Open early.
