"Founded by Nicolas Potel, one of Burgundy’s most innovative and resourceful vignerons, Maison Roche de Bellene is a micro-négociant that is focused on producing balanced, characteristic wines from vineyards that are farmed responsibly. The excellent small growers that Bellene has worked with for many years are all either certified BIO organic or are farming according to the principles of lutte raisonée (sustainable viticulture). This enables Nicolas to consistently produce the authentic, terroir-driven style of Burgundy that is his vision, while also offering great value in an extensive selection of appellations. Roche de Bellene Bourgogne rouge comes from 20 to 50-year-old vineyards in the Côte d’Or. Nicolas and his team work closely with their growers to ensure superb quality at every step, from vineyard management to harvest decisions and vinification protocols. Through environmentally sensitive viticulture, strict harvest selection, minimalist winemaking practices and selective blending, the goal is to capture the fine fruit, delicate balance and expression of terroir that together say, “This is Burgundy!”
