Les Suchots is the largest Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanée, a 13-hectare parcel that runs along the Grand Cru belt between Echézeaux and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and in the right hands it produces wines that carry the signature of the village’s greatest addresses at a fraction of the price. Domaine de Bellene’s parcel is farmed organically, harvested by hand, and vinified with indigenous yeasts and no additions, the whole process guided by the same minimal-intervention philosophy that defined everything Potel made. The 2022 vintage gave Suchots exceptional material: silky and perfumed from the glass, all crushed violets, exotic spice, and ripe red cherry, with the mid-palate richness and aromatic complexity that makes Vosne the most swooned-over village in all of Burgundy. The tannins are fine and precisely framed, the finish long and mineral. A Premier Cru that drinks like its Grand Cru neighbors at a fraction of the price. These are limited. Don’t wait.

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.
