Tasting Notes

In the tradition of the Rhône valley’s great rosé wines, Chapoutier’s Belleruche Rosé is made from a blend of Grenache (roughly 75%), with smaller amounts of Cinsaut (Cinsault), and Syrah. The Grenache in this food-friendly wine gives it bright red stone fruit flavors and beautiful color, while the Cinsaut gives its delicate strawberry aroma and the Syrah its body, making it a great pairing even for the intense flavors of seafood. Rosé wine is obtained by limiting the amount of time the grape must (juice) is allowed to macerate in contact with the skins. While rosé can typically lack tannic structure (the grape skins also impart tannin to the wine), Chapoutier uses the Syrah to balance it with tannic structure.

Serving Suggestion

Provencal-style cod and fresh salmon.

Wine Enthusiast

90 Points // This gorgeously red-berried blend of Grenache and Cinsault is a gold standard for consistently well-made, accessibly priced rosé from the Côtes du Rhône. Peppery and perfumed with hints of rosemary and wild mint and concentrated in red cherry and raspberry flavors, it's a solid accompaniment to a summer barbecue or lighter fare year-round.

James Suckling

91 Points // Both bright and generous, this Southern Rhone rosé is brimming with strawberry, nectarine and citrus fruit. Very lively and polished, it will hit the pleasure buttons of many rosé fans! Expert winemaking!
