Domaine de la Belouse
The Estate settled in 1970 with just one hectare of wine crop around La Roche Vineuse and Saint Vérand (South Burgundy). In 1999, the winery was built with new temperature-controlled oak barrels and stainless steel vats. Two pneumatic presses and a bottling line have completed the fittings. Since then, the vineyard has progressively grown to the current 38 hectares. In 2008, a new wine cellar and an oak barrel cellar were created to increase the overall storage capacity.
