2002 Chambertin Grand Cru, Collection Bellenum

Chambertin Grand Cru, Collection Bellenum
There is plenty going on here, as the wine emerges from adolescence. It makes a very fine, full mouthful, with lots of energy, and an attractive sumptuous component to it as well. Very good length. A treat.
(Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director)

Nicolas Potel, took his first steps as winemaker in the family Estate in Volnay, Le Domaine de la Pousse d’Or. He established his own negoce operation in 1996 , followed by Maison Potel-Aviron in Beaujolais region in 2000 and his efforts culminated in his own Estate, Domaine de Bellene in 2005, with 15 ha of organically-farmed vines in Côte de Beaune.

In 2008, after leaving the SAS Nicolas Potel company, Nicolas Potel launched a new, "Haute Couture"-style negociant business called "Maison Roche de Bellene" which focuses on offering the rare and fine cuvées.

The Bellene range encompasses wines from the Côte de Nuits, and has the widest selection of Grand Crus from Burgundy, as well as a number of prestige 1er Cru cuvées such as Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Combottes.

Recently , Nicolas Potel introduced a range of very rare older vintages, under the name "Collection Bellenum".
These exceptional wines, dating back from 1959 are the result of a strict selection of old vintages originating from the cellars of some of the most acclaimed wine producers in Burgundy.

Chambertin Grand Cru, Collection Bellenum
Deep ruby. Sweet rose-petal nose. A bit of sweetness and greenness. Round and flattering. Doesn't obviously have the weight of a Chambertin at this point. Long. Reverberant. Sweet finish.
