Tasting Notes:

From Ballet , one of France's smallest and rarest AOCs

Grown on the appellation's distinctive "poudingue" pebble-and-sand soils. Deep garnet colour with expressive aromas of blackberry, black pepper and spice, sometimes with a touch of violet or liquorice. Medium-bodied with fine, present tannins and a fresh, lively finish — a genuine rarity, as Bellet covers barely 50 hectares in total.

Food pairing:
Western cuisine: Provençal daube, grilled lamb, ratatouille, game meat, wild boar, red mullet, panisses, charcuterie, spicy
Asian cuisine: Char siu pork, five-spice duck, mild Sichuan beef

Winemaking:
35 hl/hectare. Hand-harvested in crates, sorted. Traditional maceration after destemming with a medium to long vatting period (approximately 6 to 10 days). During this phase, we carry out various operations, one of the most crucial being the nature of the pump-overs, their number, and duration.
We then proceed with racking, followed by fining, blending, aging in French oak barrels for a minimum of approximately 12 months, and finally, bottle aging to ensure your satisfaction and enhance your meals.
