This is fabulous buying on this ripe and spicy wee number from one of the Rhone Valley's legendary producers who has been making wine there for over 200 years. Adhering to organic and bio-dynamic principles the wines of Chapoutier deliver great value and excellent quality.
The vineyards of the red Côtes du Rhône Belleruche cover 4 departments, Drome, Ardeche, Vaucluse and Gard on a variety of soils (clay and calcareous alluvial deposit) giving Belleruche and extraordinary richness and complexity. Garnet red in colour with aromas of red fruits (mainly morello cherries) and spices, licorice and pepper. On the palate this wine shows great structure and firm silky tannins.
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Pristine and delightfully fragrant with Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, olive, and nutmeg aromas, it's succulent and plump in the mouth, delivering a beautifully rounded mouthfeel and fine tannins. Well-structured and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2030."
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Nice wine, aroma sand flavours of plums and dark red berries, black cherry and spice framed by a light woodsy quality and lots of textures from tannins and acidity. A dry wine with a firm yet relaxed touch as the tannins and acidity frame the palate, then flavours of red fruits especially plum and cherry begin the take hold. Decent acid line and length, dry and fruity with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+."
