- Michel Chapoutier says that one of the most difficult tasks of a vineyardist and winemaker is to make a serious, high-quality wine, yet have it remain a good value. His Belleruche wines accomplish just that. Grape varieties: Red Grenache, Syrah Color: Garnet red Aroma: Aromas of red fruit, particularly Morello cherries. Taste: Well structured with sustained tannins. Perfect to drink upon release.

- A delightful little wine, with fresh red berry aromas and flavors leading the way, and anise, clove and mineral notes adding interest. Great value. Ready to drink now.

- Good, fresh wine... the Jaboulet was better of the '05 vintage.
