Domaine de Bellene

While running Maison Nicolas Potel in Nuits St Georges, Nicolas began to establish his own wine domaine through purchasing or contracting to rent vineyards, mainly in and around Beaune from 2005.

The 2005 and 2006 crops were included in his négociant operation, then bottled as Domaine Nicolas Potel for 2007. The concern has been renamed Domaine de Bellene from the 2008 vintage onwards..

The domaine is based in some marvellous old cellars, renovated to an ecologically admirable standard (‘Haute Qualité Environnementale’), on the Dijon road out of Beaune. The vineyards are being converted to organic farming, with some biodynamic elements and now cover 22ha as below, with expansion into the Côte de Nuits.
