The winery Domaine de Bellene was established in 2005 at the behest of several winegrowers, who wanted to lease some of their vines. This new vineyard was created with a desire to control the entire production process, from the soil cultivation to the bottle sales. Our estate is set in very old and historical buildings bought in 2006, and located at street Faubourg Saint Nicolas in Beaune. It took us some time to restore the buildings dedicated to production in accordance with the "High Environmental Quality" standard and to extend our vineyards holding. Also, we invested in high-performance winemaking equipment that respects the integrity of the grapes such as a stainless steel thermo regulated winery, a non-crushing de-stemmer, a vibrating sorting table, a sorting belt, gravity vatting stainless steel buckets, a pneumatic horizontal press, a vertical ratchet press and a vertical stainless steel press. Then 2007 marked the first vinification at our winery. We stroke to produce high quality wines with a perfect balance.
Our original 13.85-hectare-vineyard stretched from Santenay to the Côtes de Nuits Villages and produced three major appellations: Saint-Romain, Beaune and Savigny-Les-Beaune.
We craft our wines in organic farming and we have always sought to cultivate the vines in the respect of the soil. We want to yield very healthy grapes of the highest quality in terms of phenology.

Lydian GSM is made from 40% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre, 27% Syrah.
Lydian was established in 2019 as a new way to experience Washington wine. The team behind Avennia brings you another delicious wine that serves as an introduction to a lifetime of wine appreciation and a fresh take on Washington terroir.
In music, Lydian refers to a mode, or scale that is used as a building block for some of the world’s oldest and newest masterpieces. This happy sounding mode brings joy on its own, yet when molded and crafted by talented musicians can become a work of timeless art.
We believe Washington vineyards produce some of the finest building blocks in the world. With these grapes, and the collective talent behind those growing and working with them, Lydian wines can be as complex, nuanced, and profound as any jazz classic.
Lydian: a fun, fresh take on Washington wine.
Lydian GSM is fresh and lively on the palate, with strawberry, red cherry, and hints of savory earth, fresh mint, and lavender. A delicious wine!
