On the hills of Nice, the Bellet AOC is one of Europe's most singular urban vineyards: some fifty terraced hectares planted with braquet and folle noire, grapes found nowhere else. A wine estate for sale in Alpes-Maritimes is an exceptional asset, at the crossroads of wine and Riviera property.
Here scarcity commands everything: a handful of estates, exceptional transactions, and international patrimonial demand that values the place as much as the vine.
The terraces of Saint-Roman-de-Bellet overlook the Var and the Baie des Anges: exposure, rolled pebbles and mountain winds compose a unique microclimate. The confidential production sells along the Riviera at some of Provence's highest prices.
Land value reads two ways here: wine value on one side, residential value of Nice's hills on the other. AOC and agricultural zoning protect the vineyard, but every transaction remains a case of its own, to be appraised with local references.
