WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Michel Chapoutier says that one of the most difficult tasks of a vineyardist and winemaker is to make a serious, high-quality wine, yet have it remain a good value. His "Belleruche" wines accomplish just that. Grape varieties: Red Grenache, Syrah Color: Garnet red Aroma: Aromas of red fruit, particularly Morello cherries. Taste: Well structured with sustained tannins. Perfect to drink upon release.
