Cuvée Baron G. becomes La Chapelle rouge. On the nose, notes of black fruit (blackcurrant, blueberry) are accompanied by spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is lively and well-structured, with complex aromas. Charming in every way!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Situated on the Séoules hill in the hills above Nice at an altitude of almost 300 meters, the terraced vineyards benefit from the sea spray that tempers the summer heat. Having vinified 47 vintages and established the reputation of the Bellet appellation, Ghislain de Charnacé sold his 12-hectare vineyard in 2014 to property management company La Française REM (which also owns other vineyards). Considerable resources were deployed to restructure the vineyard, under the leadership, since summer 2018, of Jean de Laître, a talented master winemaker also present in the Bordeaux region. An ultra-functional winery at the foot of the old chapel now enables us to vinify as closely as possible to the terroir. A new style is emerging, with a reorganization of the range into three levels (entry-level, vins de terroirs and cuvées d'exception agnès), promising a bright future for this historic estate. The latest vintages demonstrate this welcome change of direction.
