Domaine de Bellene Cotes de Nuits Villages Vieilles Vignes 2021
DOZEN: $1,026.00 or $85.50 each
I really do like this for its upfront pleasure. It takes the best bits of 2021, brightness, vivacity, snappy red fruit and lovely perfume and couples it with expertly handled bunches that only serve to set off both the aromatic profile, with elements of spice and forest floor, as well as adding subtle structure to the palate, a certain sappiness. There is a strawberry and cream theme through the middle which I suspect is partly due to the very old vine material here. This will fill out with a few years and that inner sweetness will encompass those bunchy tannins and that sappy aspect will ease in to it. Really lovely.
I would struggle to hold on to this in my house but it would benefit from a few years under the bed as well. Ripping value! ROSCOE
