Goedhuis, January 2011
A succulent Suchots that offers a wonderful balance between its core of fresh and crunchy fruit and sweet, smoldering earthiness. As the French say, there is a nice ‘sucrosité' which adds a tendersweet spot to the palate and smooths everything over.

Neal Martin, January 2011, Score: 91-93
The Suchots has a rather clayey entry with some white Burgundy characteristics: white peach and a touch of peach skin. The palate has a fleshy entry, brimming full of ripe strawberry and raspberry fruits with a rounded, harmonious plush finish. Impressive. Tasted January 2011.

Burghound, April 2011
This is slightly riper and exceptionally spicy with plum and black berry liqueur aromas complementing silky and opulent medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm structural elements on the balanced, focused and impressively persistent finale. 2021+.

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
Vosne Romanée
The vineyards of the modest village of Vosne Romanée are arguably the most sought after in the Côte d'Or. It is host to excellent Village and Premier Cru wines, but it is its most famous Grand Crusthat truly stand out: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Grands Echézeaux, Echézeaux, Romanée St. Vivant and La Romanée as well as Cros Parentoux, a Premier Cru vineyard which attracts Grand Cru attention (and prices). Vosne-Romanée can be remarkably robust and powerful, yet be charming and fleshy giving it one of the most diverse styles of the region.
