Details and technical informations about Domaine de la Source's Bellet Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Durif
Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia. French variety created in 1880 by François Durif in the Isère (spontaneous cross of Syrah × Peloursin).

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: Saignée (rosé de)
Rosé wine made from a vat of black grapes after a short maceration period.
