Details and technical informations about Domaine de la Source's Bellet Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Jurançon noir
Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate of simple red fruits (raspberry, cherry), gentle spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Once widespread in the South-West, now marginal, preserved in a few heritage parcels in Béarn and Bigorre. Native French grape of the South-West, not to be confused with the Jurançon appellation (white wines).

The wine region of Bellet
One of the oldest and smallest AOCs in France (1941) on the west slopes of Nice (~200 m), between sea and mountain. Rolle is the signature white (80-90%): dry and floral with citrus, white flowers, stone fruits and a mineral-saline touch. Braquet is the autochthonous rosé grape: fine and delicate with red fruits. Folle Noire is the endemic signature red: structured with dark fruits, garrigue, spice and firm tannins.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Shine
Character of a wine that reflects light with brilliance. The brilliance is enhanced when the wine is decanted.
