Run by Domaine Belleville since 2017, this is a micro negociant business which has access to a whole range of vineyards across the Cote de Bourgogne from village wines to 1er Cru to Grand Cru. All vineyards are in Organic & or Biodynamic conversion. Often the lots are very limited to 600 – 900 bottles only.
LPdS is a commonly used abbreviation of Les Parcellaires de Saulx. Saulx is pronounced ‘so’.
Gevrey-Chambertin is a commune rich in Grand Crus. These can be roughly divided into two categories, the lower ones, which include the Chapelle-Chambertin, are considered to be the more tender and red-berry, while the upper ones are stronger and darker in fruit.
The Name
The name comes from a chapel built here in 1165 by monks from the Abbey of Bèze. In 1830, however, this had to give way to the vines.
The Terroir
Located mid-slope facing east, south of Gevrey-Chambertin, this terroir consists of limestone scree soil covered with a thin layer of clay on the surface.
From Les Parcellaires de Saulx there was a small amount of Chapelle-Chambertin in 2019, which combines the fullness and concentration of the vintage with the enchanting elegance of this Grand Cru location. This treasure was aged in barriques for fifteen months.
