“The Golden State” has long been a popular nickname for California. It is particularly appropriate since California’s modern development can be traced back to the discovery of gold in 1848 and the golden sunshine that nurtures fields of flowers, forests, and crops throughout the state.
California is not just a place; it is a frame of mind. It is a place for boundless hope and ambition. At Les Belles Collines, we are bringing that vision to California wine. We produce beautiful, elegant wines showcasing California’s different terroirs. We achieve this not through unyielding tradition or gut instinct, but through a new, modern approach. Our approach is based on scientific methodology – on the quantitive, the methodical, and the verifiable – but it is also firmly planted in the belief that winemaking is an art, and that in this art, we must hold dear an appreciation of nature and the rugged yet subtle beauty of the land, fruit, and wine. This is the promise of Les
Belles Collines.
