Maison Roche de Bellene Gevrey Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru 2019 (by Nicolas Potel) 750ml

From Internet
Good dark red. Enticing aromas of strawberry and rose petal. Sweet, round and seamless, with lovely spicy, floral lift to the red fruit flavors. Underlying minerality energizes the middle palate and contributes to the impression of structure on the long aftertaste. Tannins are smooth. A lovely showing, and delicious already.

Nicolas Potel decided to set up his own négociant business after the death of his father in 1996 and the subsequent sale of Domaine Pousse d`Or which his father had been managing.
The Nicolas Potel label became an excellent source of predominantly red wines, from Bourgogne Rouge to the Grands Crus of the Cote de Nuits. His hallmark has been to make wines which respect both their vineyard provenance and the style of the vintage while remaining attractively priced.
Suffering from a lack of capital, he sold the business to the Cottin brothers of Labouré-Roi in 2004, continuing as before until he parted company with his new owners in spring 2009. Instead he has developed his own Domaine de Bellene and negociant business Maison Roche de Bellene in Beaune.
