This wine is from three different villages vineyards in Savigny-lès-Beaune: Les Planchots, Aux Champs des Pruniers and Dessus de Vermots. These parcels were acquired by the Domaine in 2005 and 2006, and were immediately converted to organic viticulture to restore the vitality and potential of the moderately old vines.

This climat is just beneath the premier cru Clos Rousseau in Santenay, the southernmost village of the Côte d’Or. The vineyard is located in a flat area between two hills that typically gets a small amount of botrytis (less than 5%), which adds to the aromatic complexity of the wine.

This is our second vintage from a tiny parcel of Beaune Les Perrières that the Domaine acquired and replanted in 2013. Located on a relatively steep slope, Les Perrières has thin, stony top soil that yields the focused style of Chardonnay that Bellene favors.

We have harvested this plot, planted in 1966, for six years now. It’s a gently sloping vineyard on a clay-limestone soil. The southern exposure of the vineyard guarantees excellent ripeness in the fruit, and the vines provide many grapes with millerandage and small compact bunches.

This cuvée is a blend of three parcels located very close to our Savigny-lès-Beaune Chardonnay parcels. All three vineyards are more than 60 years old and were converted to organic viticulture when they were acquired by the Domaine in 2005 and 2006. The wines are round and fruity, with soft tannins and a mix of red fruit flavors.

The small town of Nuits-Saint-Georges lies at the epicenter of the Côtes de Nuits, just south of Vosne-Romanée. There are no grands crus, but a number of excellent premier crus. This wine is from four organically farmed parcels located on the northern side of Nuits-St.-Georges, near Vosne-Romanée, where a more fruit-driven, silky style of wine is produced.

This is a special blend of five premier cru sites in Beaune, dedicated to the memory of Nicolas Potel’s mother. This cuvée was originally introduced in 2014, as Cuvée du Cinquantenaire, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Nicolas’s father, the revered Gérard Potel, who started at Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in 1964.

To our knowledge these are the oldest vines to be found in the Beaune appellation, planted in 1904. This is the only parcel we have that is still pruned in the old-style Cordon de Royat vine training method. The vines are so old here that we decided to stop working with machines and now everything is done by hand (and horse!).

The villages lieu-dit, Les Quartiers de Nuits, is located in the lowest part of Echézeaux, and is directly adjacent to Clos de Vougeot. It has east-southeast exposure and relatively heavy soil. The Domaine’s parcel was planted in 1927.

This parcel, covering 21.5 ares, was planted in 1937 and lies just next to La Romanée Saint Vivant. The vineyard is south-faced and results from a massal selection. The yield produced by this plot is similar to a Grand Cru (34 hl/ha). Since it has been part of the Domaine, the vineyard has been farmed following an organic method.
