Presentation
Domaine Roger Belland, founded in 1839, is located in the heart of the village of Santenay, in the south of the Côte de Beaune. Roger Belland and his daughter Julie represent the fifth and sixth generations of Domaine Belland. Passionate about exceptional wines, they cultivate 23 hectares of vines, located on the finest terroirs of the 1st and grand crus of the villages of Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard. The domaine's viticulture is sustainable and respectful of the environment.
Location
Plot located between the villages of Volnay and Meursault. It qualifies as a Volnay Premier Cru when planted with Pinot Noir.
Terroir
Situated within the “Les Santenots” vineyard, specifically in the lieu-dit “Les Pelures.”
In the vineyard
Guyot pruning with very early debudding and leaf removal (at the floral cap fall stage).
Harvest
100% manual harvest with meticulous sorting in the vineyard.
Winemaking
Vinified with 60% whole bunches in a temperature-controlled stainless steel vat. Cold maceration for 3 to 4 days with gentle pump-overs to encourage yeast development. Alcoholic fermentation starts after a few days, with temperature maintained between 16°C and 20°C. Once the sugar is fully consumed, a warm phase completes the maceration to stabilize color and soften tannins.
Ageing
Aged for 12 months in 228L oak barrels, 40% of which are new. Malolactic fermentation occurs during barrel ageing.
