Why shop with us?
Domaine de Bellene’s 2023 Aux Chaignots is a highly rated Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, earning 96 points from Michael Godel of WineAlign. From a tiny 0.14-hectare parcel on the appellation’s northern slopes, close to Vosne-Romanée, it brings together the structure of Nuits-Saint-Georges and a more elegant, finely detailed expression of Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes
The wine is described as combining red and dark berry character with spice, freshness and a firm, mineral structure. Its concentrated yet poised style balances the power associated with Nuits-Saint-Georges with finesse from this northern, Vosne-Romanée-adjacent site.
It can be enjoyed young with generous aeration, though further bottle age should reveal greater complexity. The recommended drinking window is 2028–2037.
Production
Aux Chaignots sits high on the slope in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Domaine de Bellene’s holding covers just 0.14 hectares. Specific details about harvesting and vinification were not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 15–16°C with roast poultry, duck, or dishes featuring mushrooms and herbs. If opening young, decant for about an hour to give the wine time to open; older bottles are best handled gently and may need only a short period of aeration.
Producer
Domaine de Bellene was founded by Nicolas Potel with a focus on estate vineyards, old vines and terroir-driven Burgundy. Its small holding in Aux Chaignots reflects that site-focused approach; further details about the domaine’s history and achievements were not provided.
