Les Perrières takes its name from the stone quarries that once dotted this part of the Beaune hillside, and the limestone-heavy, rocky soils of the site give the wine a precision and mineral drive that sets it apart from the more generous, fleshy style of Grèves just downslope. Domaine de Bellene farms its Perrières parcel organically, hand-harvesting and vinifying with indigenous yeasts and no additions, and the 2022 vintage gave the site its most complete expression in years: perfumed and lifted on the nose with red cherry, raspberry, violet, and a minerally, chalk-laced freshness, the palate elegant and focused with fine-grained tannins and a long, stony finish. The 2022 vintage is broadly regarded as one of the finest for red Beaune in recent memory, and Les Perrières at its best is one of the most compelling Premiers Crus in the appellation. These are very limited. Grab them now.

About The Producer

Domaine de Bellene was founded in 2005 by Nicolas Potel, a Burgundy-born winemaker who grew up at his father Gérard's celebrated Domaine de la Pousse d'Or in Volnay. After Gérard's sudden death in 1997, Nicolas struck out on his own, building a well-regarded négociant operation before eventually purchasing his own vineyards and launching the domaine under the Bellene name — a nod to the ancient name for Beaune itself. Working out of a 16th-century building in the heart of the city, Potel assembled roughly 22 hectares of predominantly old-vine sites across the Côte d'Or, from Santenay up through Vosne-Romanée, farming them organically and making wines with minimal intervention — indigenous yeasts, no additions, hand-harvested fruit. He also ran a parallel négociant label, Maison Roche de Bellene, giving him one of the broader ranges in the region. Sadly, Nicolas passed away in a car accident in June 2025 at 56, a significant loss for Burgundy. The domaine's future direction is still unfolding.
