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

A bright, effortless Southern Rhône rosé, Belleruche 2024 delivers fresh red fruit, citrus lift, and clean minerality in a highly drinkable style. This is a go-to warm-weather wine—crisp, balanced, and versatile, with just enough depth to keep it interesting. A reliable, high-value rosé that consistently overdelivers.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by M. Chapoutier, a leading Rhône Valley house known for its terroir-driven approach, Belleruche Rosé is crafted from a classic Southern Rhône blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah.

The grapes are sourced primarily from the right bank of the Rhône, where sandy and clay-limestone soils help preserve freshness and aromatic clarity.

Winemaking focuses on precision and brightness:
– Direct pressing to achieve a pale, delicate color
– Cold fermentation in stainless steel to retain aromatics
– Careful oxygen management to preserve freshness

The wine is aged briefly in tank, emphasizing purity, lift, and immediate drinkability rather than structure or oak influence.
