Tasting notes
Very interesting nose. Real breadth and interest here. Forget the fact that this is a well-priced negociant label and revel in the value and individuality. GV (JR)

Deep medium red. Strongly smoky-oaky aromas of red raspberry, crushed stone and minerals. Large-scaled, rich and very ripe but a bit youthfully disjointed today; plenty of material here but this big boy will need time in bottle to harmonize. Finishes quite long, with strong coffee and caramel oak notes.
About the producer
Nicolas Potel is one of Burgundy’s most talented and connected winemakers. He created Maison Roche de Bellene, the négoce arm of Domaine de Bellene, in 2008, using his extensive network in the region to source top-quality fruit for an "haute couture" négociant operation.
