Chapoutier Côtes-du-Rhône Belleruche 2021 (France)
- Dark plum & cherries
- White pepper
- Roasted nut
- Fine tannins
"Aromas and flavours of fresh red and dark red plums, some white pepper spice and raspberry then scents of stones and a gentle oak and lees quality. Violets and crushed stone. Refreshing, fruity and dry on the palate with flavours of cherries and plums, red apples and wild forest berries. The mineral earthy quality weaves through the palate accentuated by acidity and youthful firmish tannins. Ripe, fruity, and well made with best drinking from 2023 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2022
"A light touch of spice upfront with dark berry, mushroom and toasted almond notes, it's succulent and smooth in the mouth delivering supple texture and well-integrated tannins. Beautifully balanced and flavoursome with a lengthy savoury finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023
A captivating garnet red with rich aromas of morello cherries, liquorice and white pepper. This wine has a great structure with firm and silky tannins.
The vineyards of the red Côtes du Rhône “Belleruche” covers 4 departments (Drôme, Vaucluse, Gard and Ardèche) on different soils (clay and calcareous alluvial deposit terraces, clay) giving to the “Belleruche” an extraordinary richness and complexity.
The grapes are harvested at good maturity. The grapes are entirely destemmed. Vatting lasts around 15 days and provides a great tannic structure. This allows ageing and guarantees a good stability. Ageing is performed in vats with regular pumping over in order to clarify the wine.
