M. Chapoutier 2024 Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc “Belleruche” 750ml

This is a textbook Rhône white—fresh, balanced, and quietly complex. Belleruche Blanc consistently overdelivers with citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle richness, making it one of the strongest values in the category. A versatile, food-friendly wine that performs equally well as an aperitif or at the table.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by M. Chapoutier, one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected houses, Belleruche Blanc reflects a commitment to precision, balance, and a biodynamic philosophy.

The 2024 vintage is a classic Southern Rhône blend, typically centered on Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, with smaller portions of Roussanne and Viognier depending on the year.

Sourced from clay-limestone soils, the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity, generally avoiding malolactic fermentation to maintain crisp acidity.

The result is a wine built on purity, balance, and immediate drinkability, rather than oak influence or weight.
