Stone and cherry characterize the nose with an undisguised purity. The palate is bright and of a wonderful lightness of touch — the fruit is dark and brooding, yet also pure, supported by fine, ripe tannins that do the elegance of Volnay full justice. Volnay is Pinot Noir's most graceful address in all of Burgundy, and the 2020 vintage delivered fruit of rare ripeness without sacrificing the lifted, silky character that defines the commune. Nicolas Potel's old-vine sources consistently punch above their appellation weight — this is Volnay that drinks like it costs a great deal more than it does.
About The Producer
Maison Roche de Bellene was founded in 2005 by Nicolas Potel, a renowned Burgundian winemaker with deep family roots in the region. After establishing his reputation through Domaine de Rochegrès and his own négociant business, Potel launched Roche de Bellene as a high-quality, terroir-driven négociant house. Focused on sourcing fruit from old-vine, sustainably farmed vineyards across Burgundy, the maison offers a diverse range of wines, from regional Bourgogne to prestigious Grand Cru bottlings. The philosophy is centered on minimal intervention winemaking, allowing each terroir’s expression to shine through with purity and elegance. Today, Maison Roche de Bellene continues to be a respected name in Burgundy, known for its meticulous sourcing, consistent quality, and commitment to sustainable viticulture, offering both accessible and collectible wines that reflect the essence of the region.
