Goedhuis, December 2020
Sweet, juicy red berry aromas. Lively, bright and pure, this is packed with crisp, crunchy red fruits. Typically Volnay, with delightful freshness and a long, pretty finish. Everything is in harmony. A great start to Nicolas’ range and excellent value.

Burghound, April 2021, Score: 89-91
Spiced plum, floral and soft earth aromas introduce vibrant and well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess fine density before terminating in a dusty and youthfully austere finale. This is very good for its level as the premier cru contribution shows. Outstanding. Drink: 2026+

Jancis Robinson, December 2020, Score: 16.5
Vibrant crimson. Beautifully scented: dark and red fruits and just slightly floral. Sweet, inviting fruit. Chewy yet supple tannins. So much fruit but, like the Bourgogne VV, perfect balance and finishes long and fresh. Winning wine. And you could almost drink this now. (JH) Drink 2022-2029

Son of the family who used to own the illustrious Domaine de la Pousse d’Or, Nicolas Potel set up his négociant label Maison Roche de Bellene in 2008. A Bourguignon through and through, Nicolas’ unrivalled local network of thoroughly reliable grower-suppliers allows him to source fruit from the most sought-after parcels in the Côte. He also produces a selection of domaine wines (under Domaine de Bellene). The emphasis remains to this day on well-sited venerable vines and viticulture and the Maison Roche de Bellene label is the superlative source of attractive, well-priced Burgundy wines. Nicolas chose the name ‘Bellene' in honour of the ancient Roman name for Beaune.Read less
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
