The Cote de Nuits Villages Vieilles Vignes - Domaine de Bellene is a representative example of the excellence of Burgundy, in particular of the Côte de Nuits sub-region, renowned for the production of some of the most prestigious red wines in the world, mainly based on Pinot Noir. Domaine de Bellene, founded by respected winemaker and producer Nicolas Potel, is committed to creating wines that authentically express the terroir of origin, through sustainable agricultural practices and careful oenological intervention.

The "Vieilles Vignes" (old vineyards) to which the name of the wine refers, are a source of Pinot Noir grapes of particular concentration and complexity, thanks to the deep rooting of the plants which allows them to draw on mineral and nutritional layers richer than the soil. This contributes to greater expressiveness and aromatic intensity in the wine.

The Cote de Nuits Villages Vieilles Vignes stands out for its finesse and depth. At sight, it presents a brilliant ruby ​​red color, a sign of its youth but also of its ability to develop complexity with aging. On the nose, the wine offers a rich and seductive bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, floral accents of violets, and a subtle texture of spices and moist earth, reflecting the elegant interaction between the fruit and the terroir .

In the mouth, the wine demonstrates a balanced structure, with fine tannins and a vibrant freshness that support its aromatic texture, leading to a long and persistent finish. The measured use of new wood in the aging phase enriches the profile of the wine without overpowering the purity of the fruit, contributing to an overall harmony of great tasting pleasure.

Ideal food pairings for this wine include meat-based dishes, such as roast duck or beef fillet, mushroom-based dishes, and medium-aged cheeses. The aging ability of this wine also makes it a great candidate for addition to a cellar, where it can evolve and gain further nuances of flavor and aroma.
