Chapoutier Belleruche Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e is a classic, approachable Southern Rhône red from the \"Belleruche\" (beautiful beehive) range. It emphasizes fruit-forward character from sustainably farmed vineyards, offering great value and versatility without the intensity of Chapoutier's higher-end single-vineyard wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eBlend and Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe wine is a \u003cstrong\u003eSouthern Rhône blend\u003c\/strong\u003e, typically dominated by \u003cstrong\u003eGrenache\u003c\/strong\u003e (around 60%) with \u003cstrong\u003eSyrah\u003c\/strong\u003e (about 35%) and a small portion of \u003cstrong\u003eMourvèdre\u003c\/strong\u003e (or sometimes Marselan in variations). This gives it the juicy fruit of Grenache balanced by Syrah's spice and structure. The 2021 vintage benefited from a cooler growing season in the Rhône, resulting in fresher fruit and good acidity compared to hotter years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep garnet red with ruby\/purple reflections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e: Intense and fruity with blackcurrant, raspberry, cherry, and sometimes plum or red apple notes.
