A true companion to Mediterranean tables, Château de Bellet rosé is a wine made from Braquet, an aromatic, fine grape variety from Nice with low coloring levels. This "château" cuvée presents flowery aromas on the nose and palate. The fruity orange notes are remarkable, as is the finish, which is sustained by fine tannins and fine salinity.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (vintage 2013) (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
The nose is open and airy, and the finish is broader than it is dynamic. Original.
About the domain :
Situated on the hill of Séoules, 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 the 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.
