Domaine Belleviste
About the Wine
In the valley below the striking Alpilles hills of western Provence, Domaine de Belleviste occupies a unique Terroirin, the classic Provence Village of Maillane. Winemaker Jean Paul Riousset tends the vineyard with the care one might expect from the 6th generation to oversee this remarkable land and the beautiful wines it produces. The Domaine de Belleviste covers 5 hectares and released its very first vintages in 2008. The blend includes Roussanne 40%, Marsanne 30%, and Chardonnay 30%. The grapes are harvested by hand, put in crates, and brought directly to the winery for a direct pressing. The juices are cooled for a "débourbage" and put into 225 litters, 4th wine's barrels. Fermentation is carried out at room temperature controlled between 16° to 18°C, the wine is aged into barrels for 6 month on lees.
