DOMAINE DE BELLENE

Domaine Duseigneur was founded by Jean Duseigneur in 1967. He was succeeded by his sons Frederic and more recently Bernard, who took over the estate in 2002. In 2007 famed French sommelier Philippe Faure-Brac became a partner. In 2013, Bernard Duseigneur purchased 12 hectares of vineyards from Domaine Monpertuis in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The Duseigneur wines are now made in the former cellars of Monpertuis. The vineyards, spanning 28 hectares – 9 in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and the rest in Lirac and Cotes du Rhone-Villages Laudun – have been farmed organically since early on and are certified biodynamic since 2007. The average age of vines is 50-60 years with some up to 135 years. Yields are small and production is limited. Harvesting is by hand, fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts.

“The Astrolabe is an ancient instrument that allowed navigators to find their way by following the stars. This logo - present on our labels - symbolizes the influence of the stars in the biodynamic actions of our farming practices, marked among other things by sidereal rhythms.” www.domaineduseigneur.com

Josep Grau returned to the land where he was born in 2003 to embark on a new journey. His wines are not influenced by trends, opinion leaders’ tastes or fads. Instead, they strive to be authentic and deeply imbued with the essence: Grau is convinced that outstanding wines can be made with very little, avoiding artifice and respecting the natural language of the vineyard. www.thesortingtable.com
