The Domaine Belleville is a fixture in the top league of the Côte Chalonnaise winegrowers in the south of Bourgogne. This is not surprising given that Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, one of Burgundy's top winemakers, is involved as a consultant. The wines are first-class across the board, have substance, density, just the right wood and great clarity in the aromas.
The full and intense Rully La Perche comes from our own vineyards. The name "La Perche" probably comes from a surface area that corresponded to one hundredth of an acre. 35% of the wine is aged in barriques for 12 months, the rest comes from steel tanks. This gives it a wonderful wood note that is in the best balance with the extract of the wine and the fruit. The Chardonnay vines are around 30 years old and grow on clay/limestone soils that offer ideal conditions for this noble grape variety.
The grippy and intense Rully La Perche 2021 from Domaine Belleville was aged 35% in barriques. The approx. 30-year-old Chardonnay find very good conditions here and grow on clay soil with limestone. The open bouquet shows notes of white blossoms and citrus fruits, plus the spicy wood note and a hint of almonds. On the palate it is fresh and clear, well balanced and with a very good length in the aftertaste. Harmonious and elegant at the same time. It can also mature.
