About Belleruch Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge 2024
The Belleruch Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge opens with an inviting nose of ripe dark cherry, crushed blackberry, and sun-warmed plum, underscored by a telltale garrigue — that wild Provençal scrubland character of dried lavender, thyme, and rosemary that is the hallmark of southern Rhône reds. On the palate, the wine is generous and approachable, with juicy red and black fruit flavors framed by soft, well-integrated tannins and a touch of black pepper spice typical of Grenache and Syrah blends. A subtle earthiness and hint of smoked meat add complexity without weight. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant warmth and a lingering note of spice and dried herbs.
