Overview
The M. Chapoutier Côtes-du-Rhône Belleruche Blanc is a refined and expressive white wine, crafted from a harmonious blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette, and Bourboulenc. Sourced from stony-marl and clay-limestone slopes, these well-drained soils ensure optimal ripening, producing a wine of remarkable freshness and depth. Night harvesting preserves the purity of its aromas, while five months of ageing on fine lees enhances its texture and complexity. A testament to the Rhône Valley’s winemaking finesse, this vibrant and elegant white is an exquisite choice for any occasion.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant golden in hue, this wine captivates with an expressive bouquet of ripe apricot, delicate floral notes of iris, and a hint of fennel. The palate is both rich and refined, balancing a rounded mouthfeel with a crisp, refreshing acidity. Layers of stone fruit and subtle aniseed notes unfold on the lingering finish, creating a wine that is both complex and irresistibly drinkable. Best enjoyed chilled at 10-12°C, it pairs beautifully with grilled sardines, sea bream à la plancha, or delicate seafood dishes.
