Roche de Bellene 'Bellenos' Rosé 2016

Legend has it that to place one's hand on the fabled Rock of Bellene is to know more of the world. It's subtle, let's say that. Rest your palm on the ancient carved symbols, and you'll feel a shift. Nothing major. Hardly tangible. Then you have to wait. The world comes more alive. Your senses sharpen. Things will have more colour.

It was painstaking, but Nicolas pressed every grape that went into his rose to the carving, intrigued as to how it would enhance the wine. Now, only you can decide. Take a sip. Just a wine, right? But that fresh scent of herbs after early dew. The hint of cut strawberries. Peaches ripening in morning sun... Only a wine? Are you sure?

Nicolas Potel launched his business 'Maison Roche de Bellene' in 2008. Focusing mainly on wines from the Côte de Nuits, Potel has the widest selection of Burgundian Grand Crus including some prestige cuvées. His exclusive 'Collection Bellenum' range includes wines from very rare and older vintages with some dating back to the 50's.

Throughout the year, Nicolas works with his team and growers to offer only the finest wines and limited cuvées possible.

This rosé wine opens with lively strawberry aromas with hints of peaches and just a touch of herbs. Following on to the palate, the wine is clean and refreshing with harmonious flavours.
