Winemaker’s Notes:
Belleruche translates to ‘beautiful beehive’ in French, a name which takes inspiration from the bees and hives that thrive in the sustainable vineyards of M. Chapoutier. An expressive wine with aromas of apricot, fennel and floral scents. The wines roundness is a perfect match for its freshness, with a finish that reveals subtle notes of aniseed.
91 Points, James Suckling Review:
“A very attractive and typical white Rhone with aromas of white flowers, fresh lemons, white peaches and some fresh garden herbs. Very clean and bright, although it has modest acidity on the medium-bodied palate. Very animating finish that pulls you back for more. A cuvee based on clairette and grenache blanc. Mostly from the right bank of the Rhone with limestone soils.”
