Domaine Roger Belland

Santenay Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Burgundy's Côte de Beaune.

Domaine Roger Belland works the limestone-rich soils of Santenay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive in a continental climate. The domaine's portfolio centers on Premier Cru expressions from the region's finest parcels. Its Volnay-Santenots Premier Cru, a structured Pinot Noir from a prestigious neighboring appellation, demonstrates the precision characteristic of the Côte de Beaune. The Santenay-Beauregard Premier Cru Blanc, made from Chardonnay, captures the mineral tension and complexity that define white Burgundy. Les Cras Pommard, another Pinot Noir, extends the domaine's reach into one of the region's most celebrated communes. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Advocate. Santenay itself remains one of Burgundy's less heralded appellations, allowing serious producers here to craft wines of depth and balance without the price premium of more famous neighbors.
