Domaine des Chauchoux cultivates 20 hectares of vines in Rully, in the Côte Chalonnaise. Christian Belleville took over the estate in 1982, which was founded by his grandfather André in 1920. Since then, he has continuously expanded the vineyard area, notably by replanting abandoned vines. Today, his children, Jean-Michel and Emilie (4th generation), carry on the tradition in the ancestral premises.
