A Burgundian Pinot Noir, elegant with bright red berry, cherry, earthy mushroom, blue florals and cedar spice flavours on the palate. Vibrant and food-friendly. There are 4,620 hectares planted for this Pinot Noir and the vines are 35 to 70 years old.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely fruit on this wine. Aromas of cherry, strawberry and a hint of cranberry and a bit of an earthy note. Medium bodied, with light tannins and bright acidity. Berry notes are fresh and vibrant with a hint of graphite and smoke on the finish. Enjoy with grilled veggie kebabs or salmon.
Roche de Bellene 2018 Pinot Noir is an elegant and medium-bodied Old World Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Earthy and floral on the nose with bright red berry, cherry, earthy mushroom, blue florals and cedar spice flavours on the palate. Good acidity for food. Pair with a grilled rack of lamb. - Community Wine Reviews
