Firm, dense and really rather convincing. Broad palate entry and then rather struttingly grand cru quality fruit. Crackling taffeta texture. Excitement here! Very long – and that’s because of fruit not oak weight. Great length. I may be a bit conservative in my suggested drinking window. (JR)
Medium red. Rich, ripe aromas of red berries, smoked meat and earth; smells like a higher pH than the last few samples. Broad, ripe and dry in the mouth, and not yet filled in. More smoky oak, caramel and salty tones today than primary fruit. Oak tannins are noticeable on the finish. Perhaps in an awkward stage today, but I wanted more fruit.
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.
