Wine estates Alpes-Maritimes

Well known in the world of wine growing, this 5 ha estate produces mostly the famous AOC Vins de Bellet, one of the smallest vineyards in France. Bellet is a rare wine from the south of France, which you can discover at the domaine de la source, in the form of visits and tastings for the connoisseurs. In addition to that, the Dalmasso family also owns some olive trees on the hillside. They produce a typical and tasty Nice PDO oil, with a ripe fruitiness and packaged in small bottles (20 cl and 50 cl).

Roland Sicardi, a retired restaurant owner, and his son-in-law Joseph Sergi have taken over the vineyard to rejuvenate and expand it, always seeking quality through the expression of the grape varieties and their terroir, all the while fiercely defending the specificity of the Bellet cru. The white wine (made from the rolle grape variety) is vinified in oak barrels and is only released for sale after 18 months. As for the red, it waits two years. Through the rosé, one can recognize the Braquet grape variety which gives it a specific salmon colour.

Vines in the Esterel ? Certified organic, the 4 hectare vineyard offers a variety of wines made from Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle, Clairette, Chardonnay and Muscat à petits grains grapes. In the greatest respect of the terroir, the wines are elaborated according to the rules of organic vinification.

The Cave L'Oasis offers a very selective range of about 250 references out of the 1,200 that the historic Oasis has, as well as a range of spirits. Pascal Paulze, sommelier and Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2015, guides you towards the emotion that a wine can bring.

Domaine Saint-Jean was created in 2006 by Nathalie and Jean-Patrick Pacioselli, in the heart of the Bellet AOC, in the hills of western Nice. The couple runs a young farm certified in organic farming. The typical grape varieties of the Bellet appellation, such as rolle, folle noire and braquet, have recently been planted on the estate and produce rosé and red wines that regularly win awards at the Concours Général Agricole. A little anecdote: the wines of the estate have even been included in the Musée Masséna.
