The Domaine Belleville is one of the best wineries in southern Burgundy, more precisely on the Côte Chalonnaise. With great commitment and the know-how of Mr. Ligier-Belair, who works here as a consultant, great wines are bottled here, which do not have to hide from any Côte d'Or wine in a comparable price range . On the contrary.
The white Mercurey Champ Ladoy comes from two different Village plots, the north-facing plot provides the freshness and grip, the east-facing plot provides the supple body and substance. The calcareous clay soils are ideal for the Chardonnay, the vines here have an average age of 30 years.
The highly acclaimed 2020 vintage yielded elegant and precise Burgundies, a style that is often referred to as "classic". They are excellent in quality. The Merurey Blanc Champ Ladoy 2020 has a youthful colour. The scent shows fruit aromas such as peach, tangerine and pear, plus a fine vanilla roasted note from the barrique aging. The wine was in the wood for twelve months, 25% of the barrels were new. On the palate it is crystal clear and precise, mineral notes accompany the long-lasting and well-balanced finale. Very good! You can drink it young, but you can also store it. Just as you prefer. In any case, it tastes good.
