Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.A discount of 56% on 91–93-point Burgundy Pinot Noir aged to perfection. It's the 2016 Maison Roche De Bellene Rully Pinot Noir.
We don't see a lot of Burgundy deals here at Reverse Wine Snob, frankly because the prices are bonkers. That doesn't mean the wine isn't excellent; however, it's just that we have a hard time rationalizing the price.
As such, we're quite excited to bring you today's offer from the Rully appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy which produces both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The Pinot produced here is known for being a bit closed in its youth, but today's example (a 2016) is aged to perfection. It comes from vines 30-years-old all the way up to 80-years-old. Here's what the winery had to say about the vintage:
Although the harvest was small, the quality of the grapes was magnificent and very ripe. The wines produced are rich in color and show a palette complex aromatic and a beautiful structure.
Normally way out of our price range at a price of $45 a bottle, today's Insider Deal cuts that price by an incredible 56%, saving you $25 a bottle!
In other words, the sell-out potential on this one is very high so get those orders in quickly if you want to take part.
For the next two days you can get 3 bottles of the 2016 Maison Roche De Bellene Rully Pinot Noir for just $59.99, or $20 a bottle.

The 2016 Maison Roche De Bellene Rully Pinot Noir was aged in French oak barrels (50% new) for around 18 months. The grapes were grown in clay and limestone soils at an altitude of 280m and harvested by hand. The wine was fermented using native yeast. Only 3,000 bottles were produced and the alcohol is 12.5%. You can see even more info on the back label.
The 2016 Maison Roche De Bellene Rully Pinot Noir opens with an attractive, fresh aroma of cherry and other red fruits including cranberry along with notes of tomato plant and touches of spice, licorice and rhubarb.
The wine tastes smooth, fresh and balanced with more red fruit in the mouth. Nicely layered and flavorful with good acidity, this is especially savory and delicious after a few hours of air.
It ends dry and long and was just as good on day two. This is an absolute pleasure to drink. It still has several years of peak drinking ahead of it as well.
Here's what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
"Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you...not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!"
"I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"
"The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."
"I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"
"This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"
"Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it."
"You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"
"Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"
"Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much! "
"We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."
"The $5 or $10 shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"
"Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"
"I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case."
"My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!) Thanks for what you do and providing this service!"
"Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"
"I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)"
"The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case."

"Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

"I have loved all my RWS deals, can't wait to get this one."

"Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!"
