Collection Bellenum

Our ever energetic supplier Nicolas Potel has been working hard putting together his Collection Bellenum, providing an excellent opportunity to secure mature stocks of fine Burgundy. Nicolas has great contacts among the many vignerons of the region, some of whom have stashed away considerable stocks of old vintages. Nicolas has built up a collection of these, under his own label, out of which Berrys has selected the pick of the bunch.

"..I've now had two chances to taste wines from this unique collection of wines that have moved only once in their lives, from the original cellar to Potels....I'd say they magnificently reflect the reality of Burgundy in that they are very varied, provide a thoroughly useful overview of how different vintages are developing, and include some completely stunning wines that are not Grands Crus, not even Premiers Crus but are simple village wines. A 1959 Meursault and 1999 Volnay spring particularly to mind. "

We are delighted to be able to offer the following wines in bond. They will be shipped from Beaune later in the year. Please bear in mind that magnums are in short supply.
