Domaines viticoles Belan-Sur-Ource

Domaine Jean Girard, in Belan-sur-Ource, embodies the story of a successful transition. Initially a farmer, Jean Girard took up viticulture in the 1990s. With his daughter Sylvie, trained at the Beaune winegrowers' school, they passionately cultivate 4 ha 55 of vines. The harvest is hand-picked and vinified on the estate using traditional Burgundian methods. The wines, AOC Bourgogne pinot noir or chardonnay, reveal a complex palette, aged in oak barrels. The highly original crémant rosé and the 6 cuvées make for an enchanting tasting experience. An estate worth discovering!

Winegrower from father to son for several generations, Stéphane Brice became the owner of his own estate in 2009. As he is passionate about the vine for many years, he settled in Belan-sur-Ource, in new premises that are perfectly equipped to press the grapes, vinify and handle the production. Stéphane welcomes families and groups with pleasure for a tasting and a live visit, whether in the cellar or on the estate. He has 11 hectares which are mainly spread over the slopes of Belan. The Crémants range is complete: blanc de blanc 100% Chardonnay, Crémant rosé, made from Pinot Noir, and our favourite (and the cheapest): crémant brut, with 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. The Prestige cuvée is a blend of half Pinot Noir and half Chardonnay. Stéphane Brice also offers half bottles, which are perfect for those who are in love! Stéphane Brice's experience and motivation have transformed him into a meticulous winemaker who produces Crémants with subtle aromas.
