Domaine Jean Claude Belland
Domaine Adrien Belland, or, as is it now known, Domaine Jean-Claude Belland, was originally founded by Adrien Belland, before his son took over in 1996 following his retirement. Philippe Cheron joined the ranks in 2006 as manager and winemaker, and soon after Domaine Belland’s wines started matching the quality of their grand cru vineyard holdings.
These holdings can range from Santenay to Chambertin, and include a large amount of Corton Grand Crus, including Clos de la Vigne au Saint, Perrieres and Graves. However the optimum parcels are the Corton Charlemagne and Chambertin, both around the size of a third of a hectare.
In October 2009, the Belland estate in Santenay was sold, and much of it was parcellated and spread around several different acquisitions.
Belland wines tend to be very fruity on the palate with a long lingering finish, accompanied by a tremendously spicy nose, and the best of the grand cru wines require several years of patience to fully bring out their complexities.
