Maison Roche de Bellene Vieilles Vignes Puligny-Montrachet 2020

Roche de Bellene is the craftsmanship of Nicolas Potel, who learned from his renowned father Gérard, studied in Beaune, then gained experience in Australia and California. His father's early death meant the family estate had to be sold and Nicolas had to build up from nothing. He founded Maison Roche de Bellene in 2008 and is renowned today for both exceptional estate-grown wines and others where he sources top-quality, old-vine grapes from his favoured growers. “In the class of the very best that Burgundy can produce,” wrote Jasper Morris MW. This superb Puligny-Montrachet is already wonderfully open, yet will gain further depth with age. Open early, decant if you can and serve cellar cool with fine white meat, fish or savoury gougères.
