Domaine Belle is a family estate on the left bank of the Rhône. In 1990, Albert and Philippe (his son) decided to create the estate in Larnage. Philippe and Magali (his wife) are now joined by their children, Guillaume and Valentin, thus perpetuating the family legacy. The estate farms 38 hectares of vines certified in organic agriculture. The ‘Terres Blanches de Larnage’ are a distinctive geological feature and an ingredient of our singularity. The diversity of the soils that make up our vineyards: kaolin (china clay), granite soils and rounded pebbles represent an invaluable asset for the estate.
