Bellula

Bellula is a collaborative project built on long-term relationships with growers in the Languedoc. Rather than focusing on a single
estate, the wines are sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites chosen for their quality, consistency, and expression of place.
This approach allows the team to highlight the diversity of the region while maintaining a clear, approachable house style.

The vineyards for Bellula are located around Béziers, a region defined by Mediterranean light, open landscapes, and diverse soils. Soils composed of clay-limestone, alluvial deposits, and limestone provide both structure and freshness, while warm days, cooling nighttime temperatures, and coastal influences help preserve balance and aromatic lift.

Bellula only works with growers who farm with care and practical, experienced decision-making. Work is guided by observation and
adaptation rather than rigid ideology, with an emphasis on maintaining healthy vines and balanced fruit.

In the cellar, winemaking is straightforward and precise. Fermentations take place in stainless steel, with careful extraction and
temperature control to preserve fruit purity and freshness. The goal is simple: wines that are clear, expressive, and easy to enjoy.

Bellula brings together the vision of Vianney Castan and winemaker Florencia Stoppini. Vianney approaches wine as a farmer first, guided by observation, adaptation, and a deep respect for living systems. His philosophy shapes every aspect of the project, from vineyard partnerships to the final wines.

Winemaker Florencia Stoppini, originally from Argentina, brings global experience from regions including the US, Spain, and Australia. Now based in the Languedoc, she focuses on precision, freshness, and drinkability, crafting wines that feel at home at the table.
