Goedhuis, December 2017
A very well executed wine, where succulent dark fruit combines with a creamy texture. Integration between the oak spice and juicy fruit is seamless. It may require a little time, but has the requisite elements to make very fine old bones.

Jancis Robinson, November 2017
50% new oak. Barrel sample. Very dark with black core. Super-ripe black-cherry aroma. Black and sweetly charry but also perfumed and a touch floral. Deep, dense and inviting. Rich in sweet dark fruit that is brought into balance by the layers of paper-fine tannins and that hallmark freshness of this vintage chez Nicolas Potel. Persistent and promising much. (JH)

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
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
