Region
The Mâconnais district lies in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France, west of the River Saône. It takes its name from the town of Mâcon. It is best known as a source of good value white wines made from the Chardonnay grape. The wines from Pouilly-Fuissé are particularly sought-after with 22 Premier Cru climats which all benefit from being planted on the Fuissé ampitheatre which gains the best sun and good soil drainage. Almost all the wine made in the Mâconnais is white wine. A little Pinot Noir is made into red Mâcon but only for local consumption.
Producer
Domaine Belleville was formed in Rully at the beginning of the 20th century, in the heart of the wine-making region of Burgundy. With 28 hectares of vineyards spread out from north to south Burgundy, Domaine Belleville offers distinctive wines full of elegance and finesse. It stands next to Chateau de Messey (Maconnais) and Manoir Murisaltien (Cote d`Or), all of which belong to the Dumont family.
Tasting Notes
The 28ha Belleville estate sits in the village of Rully where they cultivate several prized vineyard sites. The house style offers an honest reflection of the mineral rich style of Pinot with ripe summer pudding aromas. A brief maturation in cask adds complexity and softness to the exuberant flavour of cherries. This is very fine Burgundy, refined, elegant with a pure yet intense redcurrant fruit.
Food
Serve as an accompaniment to roast chicken, liver or kidneys, risottos or pasta dishes.
