In 2008, the renowned Nicolas Potel winery underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by Cottin Freres, which also owns Laboure-Roi. Following this change, Potel rebranded his wines under the ‘de Bellene’ label, continuing his legacy in the wine industry. The 2003 vintage exemplifies this commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Its dense and chewy texture is complemented by an abundance of juicy black fruit flavors, resulting in a bold character. The wine's structure suggests a promising aging potential, making it a worthy addition to any collection.
