Clos Bellane sits high in the hills of Valréas, where cooler temperatures and limestone-rich soils give Grenache and Syrah a fresher profile than is typical in the southern Rhône. The farming is organic and the winemaking is straightforward, aiming to let the site’s natural brightness come through. The 2022 vintage reflects that approach, offering clarity of fruit with just enough weight to feel grounded.
The wine presents red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of blackberry on the nose, along with subtle notes of garrigue and warm spice. The palate is clean and balanced, showing ripe fruit, fine tannins, and a gentle mineral edge that keeps everything focused. It’s an appealing, well-made Rhône Villages that delivers character and excellent value.
