How Roche de Bellene sources its grand crus

Maison Roche de Bellene works as a négociant, buying grapes and wines from partner growers; the group’s vineyards sit with the separate Domaine de Bellene. Its partner growers are either organically certified or farm sustainably, and that it focuses on individual terroirs with vines older than 40 years.

A 2005 Clos de la Roche under the Roche de Bellene label, in magnum, is part of Collection Bellenum, the house’s back-vintage series.
