試飲評論
釀酒奇才Nicolas Potel,忠實地呈現出勃根地釀酒人力求大地風土的精神-被稱為 『布根地傳奇人物』
Nicolas自幼就展現對釀酒的天份,盡得父親真傳 -在 2009 年因故離開了自創品牌 Nicolas Potel,同時 Domaine Nicolas Potel 亦被迫改名為 Domaine de Bellene,後來他再成立 Maison Roche de Bellene。
他的天分與努力在產品上表現淋漓盡致;不負其另一稱號『布根地明日之星』。
Nicolas 目前擁有 (Domaine de Bellene) 和 (Maison Roche de Bellene)。前者採用生物動力法, 重生物結構多樣化; Roche de Bellene的特級園紅酒都取自於60年以上的老藤釀造,為它的佳釀帶來更多優雅迷人的風味物質。

Tasting note: Moderate wood influence is just at the limit of impeding the clear expression of the appealingly fresh and discreetly spicy extract of red berry fruit aromas that exhibit plenty of earth, humus and underbrush nuances. There is a lush yet sophisticated mouth feel to the refined medium weight flavors that possess a subtle minerality before culminating in a balanced, long and impressively complex finish. This is both stylish and classy and unlike most of these grands crus, should be approachable in its youth if desired yet reward longer-term cellaring too.
