Domaine Christian Bellang et Fils

The family goes back to 1789 and is based in Meursault.

Christian Bellang took over from his parents in 1974. The Meursault vines came from the family; the Savigny-lès-Beaune parcels he inherited from his father-in-law. In Burgundy vineyards move as much by marriage as by purchase, and this estate is a clear example.

In 1995 his son Christophe joined and together they expanded with parcels in Meursault, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune and Beaune.

Christophe runs it today. Nine hectares split almost evenly between red and white, with vines averaging thirty years. Splitting an estate evenly between the two colours is not the usual thing: most Burgundy domaines lean clearly towards one.
