Domaine Roger Belland
Roger Belland represents the fifth generation to run the family domaine, located in Burgundy's southern Côte de Beaune region, whose vineyards extend over 24 hectares, mainly located in the best 1er and grand crus of the villages of Santenay, Maranges, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard.

With a policy resolutely geared towards the production of top-of-the-range, quality wines, the trade press is full of praise for Domaine Roger Belland, as evidenced by the numerous articles published in specialized magazines and guides (La Revue du Vin de France, Guide Hachette, Gault Millau, Bettane & Dessauve...).

The vineyards of Domaine Roger Belland are managed using the "lutte raisonnée" method, which gives priority to short pruning, rigorous disbudding and total grassing of the rows. Thanks to these practices, Domaine Roger Belland generally does not need to resort to extreme solutions such as green harvesting. The vines, with an average age of 45 years, and the south-southeast orientation of the slope, enable the production of quality grapes with yields limited to 40 hl/ha, which are carefully harvested and sorted by hand in the vineyard. Rigorous, meticulous work ensures that each cuvée is a great Burgundy wine.

"A well-kept treasure with delicate aromas of flowers and nuts!"

Clos Pitois, the estate's monopoly, has enjoyed a high reputation since 1421, when it was created by the monks. It is one of Chassagne's most renowned crus. On the nose, a cross between flowers and citrus fruit is supported by notes of toast and hazelnuts. The palate offers a basket of fruit dominated by citrus. This round, full-bodied, elegant wine is particularly persistent.

chardonnay
suave

"Clearly ripe aromas include candied citrus, poached apple and a hint of floral. The very round, even suave flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel while showing good length on the refreshing bitter lemon-infused finish. This sufficiently concentrated vintage should drink well, especially in its youth (2023+)". (Burghound 2021). The white Santenay Comme Dessus, near Chassagne-Montarchet, benefits from an ideal south-east exposure, and offers just the right balance of fat and freshness on the palate. To be enjoyed young, it goes well with specialties such as snails or grilled fish (sea bass or pan-fried scallops).

pinot noir
ample

"The climat Les Charmes shares with Meursault the particularity of being divided between Charmes du dessous and Charmes du dessus. Here, a Charmes "tout court" from a lovely 1.15 ha parcel offers a bouquet of ripe black fruit with a touch of pepper. The fruit is accompanied by a fine woodiness on the full, well-structured palate". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) From old vines planted in 1971, Santenay Charmes presents a lovely concentrated fruit with notes of Morello cherry and blackcurrant, complemented by a touch of liquorice. Round and generous, it's an immediate pleasure!

harmonious
elegant

This premier cru, whose name "Commes" comes from "combe", benefits from an excellent sloping exposure. Renowned as one of Santenay's finest wines of Santenay, it is elegance incarnate. The ripe yet fresh nose presents aromas of red berries, earth and pretty floral nuances. A clear minerality and a structured palate highlight the intense, vibrant nuances in a deep, long and harmonious wine. A true declaration of love!

89/100 Burghound

"A slight reduction won't be enough to completely mask the petroleum and citrus zest scents. The texture of the perfumes on the mid-palate is much more vibrant and unctuous, with better underlying tension, all wrapped up in a much drier, more persistent finish. It can be enjoyed young or cellared for a few years". (Burghound - Allen Meadow)

Roger Belland - Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2009

Notes : Gault Millau 18/20 (Coup de Coeur), RVF 17,5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15,5/20, Guide Hachette 1*(very successful wine)
"The criots-bâtard-montrachet, the estate's greatest wine, combines power and firmness; very elegant, with great persistence, it's a wine that lifts without excess". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). An appellation recognized as one of the greatest Chardonnays in the world...

Roger Belland - Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gains 2010

Roger Belland owns half a hectare of 30-year-old vines in the prestigious village of Puligny-Montrachet, on the renowned "Les Champs Gains" climat. This parcel produces just 3,000 bottles of this racy grand vin, with intense notes of gunflint, white flowers and grapefruit. An ideal bottle to accompany pan-fried scallops...

Roger Belland - Meursault-Santenots 1er Cru 2009

Note : RVF 16/20
This lovely Meursault opens with aromas of white flowers and toasted almonds, giving off a very powerful perfume. The palate is ample and generous, finely balanced by well-placed acidity and subtle woodiness. An elegant, refined wine up for grabs!

Roger Belland - Volnay-Santenots 1er Cru 2009

Notes : Gault Millau 16/20
"A powerful Volnay. Cherry, raspberry and potpourri make up a rich nose. Full-bodied and very juicy on the palate. The tannins are integrated and round". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). A very fine expression of Pinot Noir!

Notes : Gault Millau 16/20, RVF 15,5/20
"This Pommard plays on the Pinot Noir's expression of cranberry, black plum and spices. The texture on the palate is powerful without excess, with the finesse of pinot in return."
(Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)
