Domaine de Bellene is a 24-hectare (59 acre) estate, with parcels in the villages of Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Saint-Roman, Santenay, Savigny-les-Beaune, Volnay and Vosne-Roman?e. Their focus is on expressive, terroir-driven wines from old vines (35-100+ years old).

Warm, dry weather in summer and fall allowed for long, slow ripening with very little risk of mold issues. Healthy, high-quality fruit was harvested in late September, resulting in delightful wines with excellent purity of flavor and energetic structural tension.
