Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne Rouge 2018
Red Wine
Out of stock
This is once again a testament to Nico's unwavering belief that his Bourgogne is the most important wine in his stable (not a quip about the fact that part of the cellar is indeed an old stable). Sourced from old vines, the average age is around 70 years now. The wine shows uncommon depth of material for its appellation. Richly textured and supple with plenty of darkly fruited and wonderfully appealing character. It becomes a good degree more lively towards the finish and the final wave of fruit is brighter as well. Once again it's a wine of mass appeal and pleasure. It is a big call but for me I think it pips that 2015. My final notes from tasting here is "this is super Bourg" ROSCOE
PRODUCER
The Domaine is located in Beaune in buildings steeped in history, dating from the 16th century. The origin of the domain name: "Bellene" comes from the name of the city of Beaune. In the first century of our era, this town was called "Belena" from the God of the Sun "Belenos" then "Beaulne" and finally Beaune, which reflects our desire to make the estate a benchmark for Beaune wines.
