Tasting Notes

  • GDH

    Goedhuis, December 2011

    The wild dark forest fruits in this wine give it personality and complexity. Quite a structured Boudots, with some firm tannins marrying well with the sweet ripe fruit flavours. A rewarding style.

  • BURG

    Burghound, April 2012,
    Score: 91-93

    This is very much in the half Nuits/half Vosne model of a classic Boudots where the Vosne spice shows up on the ripe nose and the Nuits character shows up on the muscled flavors. But here the tannins are relatively refined and not really all that rustic; indeed the mouth feel is a good deal more sophisticated than the Vaucrains. I very much like this as it's powerful, concentrated, balanced and beautifully persistent. Drink: 2022+.Comments: outstanding!

Producer

Maison Roche de Bellene

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.

Region

Nuits-Saint-Georges

The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
