ROCHE DE BELLENE BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY CUVEE RESERVE 2021 - white

Style: Fresh & Fruity Nicolas Potel is the irrepressible owner of Domaine Bellene based in Beaune. The man, the myth, the legend has settled a little with time it would seem. Not that he has lost any of his restless energy but it feels like that energy is more calmly focused and channeled these days. He has always leant on the more obsessive side of things when it comes to making his wine - organics, only old vines, no additions - has always been determined to make wines of the calibre his legendary father produced. For many years now he has approached that kind of level, with the results in the glass. The entry-level white Burgundy comes from old-vine parcels in the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise. The vines have an average age of 48 years and, as with all the wines, harvesting is done by hand. For this cuvée, about half is vinified in stainless steel and half in used oak barrels. This gives a nice balance of fresh fruit with a light touch of oak. Region: Burgundy, FRANCEVariety: Chardonnay ABV: 13% Liquor Act 2007.
