- TASTING NOTE: "While Chaignots is in Nuits St Georges, it hugs the boundary of Vosne Romanee and so much of this wine presents the best of both those communes. Turned earth, background wood and red into blue fruits vie frame a lovely opening aromatic. The palate is rich and supple but there's also a lively vein running through it making stand up across the palate - suppleness and energy a great combination. Lingering fine, silty tannins draw a boundary around the red fruit and wood spice. It's full of life this wine. Great drinking but also there's loads of background structure tucked in behind the fruit to make it an excellent cellaring proposition." Beaune & Beyond
- ABOUT THE WINE: Handpicked fruit from 22 year old vines. Natural ferment with elevage in 40% new French oak. Bottled unfined and lightly filtered.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Nico Potel is a Burgundian local whose family once owned the eponymous estate Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in Volnay. He started his own Domaine when he purchased vineyards in Beaune and began producing wines under the Bellene label in 2008. Holdings in Nuit-St-Georges, Vosne-Romanee and St-Romain have been added since. Farming is organic and Potel ferments his reds with a portion of stems for up to a month, with the whites made in demi-muids with no lees stirring.
