A true companion to Mediterranean cuisine, Château de Bellet’s rosé is made from Braquet, a Nice-native grape variety that is light in color, aromatic, and very refined. This “château” cuvée offers floral aromas on both the nose and the palate. The fruity notes of orange are remarkable, as is the finish, which is supported by fine tannins and a lovely minerality.

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 14/20 (2013 vintage) (Good wine)
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the wine:
An open, airy nose; the finish is broader than it is dynamic. Original.
About the estate:
Located on the Séoules hill, on the outskirts of Nice at an altitude of nearly 300 meters, the terraced vineyard benefits from sea mist that tempers the summer heat. After producing 47 vintages and establishing the renown and reputation of the Bellet appellation, Ghislain de Charnacé sold his 12-hectare vineyard in 2014 to the real estate management company La Française REM (which owns other vineyards). Considerable resources have been invested in restructuring the vineyards, under the leadership, since the summer of 2018, of Jean de Laître, a talented winemaking expert who is also active in the Bordeaux region. A highly functional winery at the foot of the old chapel now allows for winemaking that is closely attuned to the terroir. A new style is emerging, with a reorganization of the portfolio into three tiers (entry-level wines, terroir wines, and exceptional “agnès” cuvées), promising a bright future for this historic estate. The latest vintages reflect this positive shift.
