The story of Domaine Belluard
Dominique Belluard, nicknamed "Monsieur Gringet", was passionate about winemaking. He studied viticulture and oenology in Beaune before taking over the family estate in Ayse, Haute-Savoie, in the 1980s: 10 hectares farmed in polyculture (surrounded by raspberry and blackcurrant bushes and other fruit trees to help the grapes thrive). Dominique thought long term and had one goal in mind: to preserve the rare Gringet grape. In 2001 he converted all his vines to organic and biodynamic farming. For Dominique, it was also important to let the full richness of his terroir shine through, so he used minimal-intervention winemaking. The white wines he made from Gringet in his micro-vineyard are recognised as among the greatest whites in France, as are the traditional-method sparkling wines typical of the Ayse vineyard.
The cuvées of Dominique Belluard
Dominique's wines come from more than 11 hectares of steep vineyards in the Arve Valley, between Geneva and Chamonix. Thanks to a diversity of soils (limestone scree, yellow marl, red clay), Dominique made exceptional, unique wines. Alongside Gringet, he grew a wide range of varieties such as Mondeuse and Altesse to produce healthy wines that reveal their terroir. Dominique owned more than half of the Gringet planted in the Ayse appellation. Terroir-driven wines through cuvées such as "Les Alpes", "Mont-Blanc", "Le Feu" and "Les Grandes Jorasses", all combined with Dominique's talent for making pure, easy-drinking wines full of emotion.
