In memoriam - Dominique Belluard, saviour of Gringet.

 

 



 

Dominique Belluard described by Chambers St, Wines as the Saviour of Gringet has taken his own life. This is tragic news and we offer our most sincere condolences to his family and colleagues.

We are all diminished by the loss of this great vigneron. It has been noted that in the last few months, other great personalities in the French winemakers scene have also died in the same circumstances. These are Laurent vaille of Grange des Peres, Pascal Clairet of Domaines des Tournelles (Jura) and Olivier Lemasson of Les Vins Contes (Loire). We remember the great Haridimos Hatzidakis also.

It goes to show what a hard life it is to produce great wine.
