DOMAINE DE BELLENE VOLNAY LES GRANDS POISOTS 2021

Style: Savoury & Detailed

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.

Lovely aromas of raspberry and dark cherry fruit laid over a faintly stony backbeat and gorgeous blue florals of violets. The palate is medium to full with demure but insistent attack of sweet cherry and spice overtones. Love the delineated flavours as it slides across the palate. Intensity of flavour without heft. I love the limestone drying quality in this wine and the mouth aromas that mark it as a Volnay through and through. MICHAEL MCNAMARA, PWS
