M. Chapoutier Cotes du Rhone Belleruche Red 2021

There is no name bigger in Rhone valley than Chapoutier and today we have their Cotes du Rhone at market best price of $19.95.  

With a winery as prestigious as Chapoutier, value can always be found right across their range and that's what we have here. It has a smooth palate, a medium bodied style and its an absolute treat to drink, I could go on, but I'm a retailer with a barrow to push, so let's leave it to the experts and their glowing reviews:

"Based on 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the rest Marselan, the 2021 Côtes Du Rhône Belleruche is classic stuff, offering plenty of peppery, garrigue, and floral notes, a solid core of darker fruits, medium body, and a soft, elegant mouthfeel. It's another impeccably made wine from this team that I'd be happy to drink."  Jeb Dunnuck 

"Intense aromas of cassis, raspberry, white pepper, and violets exude from this blend of Grenache and Syrah. Flavors of plum and dark chocolate peek through the herbaceous palate, riding a wave of silky tannins."  The Somm Journal
