Maison Roche de Bellene Saint-Aubin Premier Cru La Chateniere 2020, A.C. Saint-Aubin 1er Cru, France

Regular price £60.00

The city of Beaune, once called Bellene until the middle ages, is renowned for its Burgundian wines. Nicholas Potel personally chose this brand name in reference to this city, historically linked with wine and famous for its diversity of terroirs. It was founded in 2008 after establishing Domaine de Bellene. Potel has travelled the world in pursuit of learning as many techniques and skills as possible, so that he could, one day, apply them on his home turf. Saint-Aubin is always one of the most sought after wines in the region due to it’s fantastic quality of Chardonnay fruit, this is no exception.

Saint-Aubin is always regarded as one of the finest appellations to grow world class Chardonnay. This premier cru vineyard, La Chateniere, offers some much needed restraint in such a warm vintage. Expect notes of apricot, peach, freshly picked apples as well as some buttered toast, hazelnuts and hints of oak. The palate is precise and exacting, with pinpoint freshness yet has some fun with the richness of the buttered orchard fruit that comes through.
