Nicolas Potel started with a successful negotiant business in 1996 and has since been known to produce some of the most best-valued Burgundies. He developed an extensive sourcing network for high-quality grapes and the skills to produce fantastic Burgundies at excellent price tags. Due to financial hardship, he decided to sell his business to the Cottin brothers of Labouré-Roi in 2004 and continued to produce wines under the label until he set up a new label Roche de Bellene in 2008 to continue his magnificent business in Beaune. With the new label, Nicolas Potel has been aggressively working on biodynamic methods in which most of the growers he works with are operating either organically or biodynamically, and the qualities remain the same high standards as before.
 
With his interest in old bottles also with his extensive network with winemakers, Nicolas Potel also selects the best bottles from more than 2,500 tastes of wines. The unique collection “Bellenum Collection” showcases some rare and delicious wines which received the perfect provenance and storage conditions before they were labeled and released to the market.
 
We are delighted to offer a parcel of the Bellenum Collection from 1977 to 2007, all of these were directly sourced from Roche de Bellene in earlier this year with excellent provenances. They are unique bottles that highlight the development stages of a vintage and the diversity of the terroirs. Now available immediately -
