Domaine BELLUARD - Le Feu 2017
Domaine Belluard is located in the commune of Ayse, in Savoie. The estate was established in 1947 and was once covered with fruit trees. Since 1988, Dominique Belluard has been in charge of the 10 hectares that he planted mainly with the endemic Savoie grape variety called "Gringet". The vineyard has been managed in biodynamic agriculture since 2001, without official certification. The observation and the permanent analysis of the vineyard lead to a conduct of protection and care of the plants by integrating all the surrounding natural elements, always in search of the balance between the plant, animal and mineral world to the detriment of the pesticides of chemistry.
Le Feu is made from the local grape variety called Gringet. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation then is aged in ovoid concrete vats.
Grape variety: 100% Gringet
