Good medium red. Aromas and flavors of sour cherry, redcurrant and musky underbrush. Juicy and tight in the mouth, with a slightly herbal quality counterpointed by an attractive touch of sweetness. Finishes with dusty tannins and a slight leanness.
Bright full red. Sexy, penetrating aromas of red berries, minerals, flowers and a whiff of game bird. Sweet, rich and firmly built, showing an attractively supple texture to the flavors of redcurrant, minerals and menthol. Boasts good size for a village wine but also delivers precision and energy. Finishes with a solid spine of tannins. Nicolas Potel bought six parcels of vines in 2011, and three of them went into this village wine. Very promising.
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.
