From the tucked-away Saint-Aubin appellation — nestled between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet on the Côte de Beaune — Les Frionnes is a small 3-hectare premier cru site with a southeast exposure, planted in clay and limestone soils with vines averaging 29 years old. Nicolas Potel, who launched Maison Roche de Bellene as a self-described "Haute Couture" négociant focused on limited cuvées, brings a minimally interventionist, sustainably farmed approach aimed at showcasing individual terroir. On the palate, the wine delivers zesty citrus acidity alongside orchard fruit, leesy texture, and a bright, engaging character — a serious but accessible premier cru Chardonnay that punches well above its price point relative to its more famous neighbors.
