DOMAINE BELLENE
Domaine de Bellene has been created in 2005 by Nicolas Potel after the purchase of various old vines in some of the best plots of Burgundy.
Nowadays, Bellene's vineyards are situated in Santenay, Saint Romain, Volnay, Beaune, Nuits Saint Georges and Vosne Romanée, and all vines range from 50 to 110 years old.
The Domaine de Bellene is situated in the city centre of Beaune in Burgundy. They are established in some very old buildings dating back to 1600. All the buildings have been renovated with a green spirit following the "HQE" method.
The origin of the name Bellene comes from Belenos, an ancient Gallic god of sun and beauty similar to Apollon to the Greeks and to the god of the sun to the Celtic. The first name of Beaune City was Belena during the roman period, then in the Middle Age Belena was renamed Bellene and Baulne in the 18th century to finally become as it is now, "Beaune".

HIDDEN GEMS OF BOURGOGNE: DOMAINE PARENT, BELLENE & TORTOCHOT
Ask the globe’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers where they draw their inspiration from, and many will tell you, ‘Burgundy.’ Upon the aptly named ‘golden slopes,’ the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, Burgundy’s greatest wines are produced. The classification system was originally established by the church, the best grapes defined as from the top of the slopes, with fruit for the villagers predictably down the hill a bit. Inheritance laws have seen the vineyards divided into smaller and smaller family parcels, and within a sea of small producers, it is not uncommon for a single vineyard to have numerous owners. Join us for an evening of focus on those three incredible independent producers and their wines.
