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 at the foot of the slopes, near the Croix de Pommard in the direction of Volnay.
Terroir
Deep, clay-rich soil.
In the vineyard
Guyot pruning with very early debudding and leaf removal (at the floral cap fall stage).
Harvest
100% manual harvest with strict sorting carried out in the vineyard.
Winemaking
Vinified with 100% whole-cluster fermentation in a temperature-controlled stainless steel vat. Cold maceration lasts 3 to 4 days with gentle pump-overs to encourage natural yeast development. Alcoholic fermentation begins after a few days, with temperatures controlled between 16°C and 20°C. Once all sugars are fermented, the maceration concludes with a warm phase to fix the color and soften the tannins.
Ageing
Aged for 12 months in 228L oak barrels, 30% of which are new. Malolactic fermentation occurs during barrel ageing.
