WINE | RED WINE | RHÔNE | COTE-ROTIEBottle of : 0.75L
The essence of Syrah: captivating and refined
- Bellissima draws from the finest granitic terroirs of Côte-Rôtie, situated on the steep slopes of Côte Brune and Côte Blonde near Ampuis. This prestigious appellation imparts remarkable finesse and depth, producing wines of genuine complexity and elegance.
- A celebration of Syrah in its purest form. The variety achieves singular expression in Côte-Rôtie, yielding a refined, silken wine of considerable power, marked by dark fruits, violet, pepper and mineral character.
- Bellissima is built for graceful evolution. Velvety tannins and layered complexity develop with careful cellaring, though the wine's concentration and vibrant fruit make it equally rewarding in its youth.

Product features : Louis Chèze "Bellissima" 2023 Côte-Rôtie
Breeding
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, with approximately 50% new wood, imparting subtle aromas of vanilla, cedar and toast that integrate harmoniously with the wine's fruit richness.
On the eye
Deep purple robe with violet glints
On the nose
Intense and refined bouquet: dark cherry, plum and blackberry, with violet, white pepper and garrigue. Subtle undertones of leather and liquorice emerge with aeration.
In the mouth
Ample and structured palate with fine, elegant tannins. Ripe dark fruits—blackberry and cassis—mingle with black pepper, violet and a whisper of smoke. Long, persistent finish with mineral freshness that balances the wine's power beautifully.
Bellissima exemplifies the elegant style of Côte-Rôtie. Floral, spiced and fruited aromatics combine with silken texture and genuine depth, making it an ideal companion to duck breast, game or roasted meats. It will develop greater complexity with time in bottle, yet rewards immediate drinking for its concentration and bright fruit. A distinguished expression of northern Rhône Syrah for the serious collector.

DOMAINE LOUIS CHEZE
On the granite hillsides of Limony in Ardèche, Domaine Louis Cheze works 35 hectares within the Saint-Joseph appellation, on the right bank of the Rhône. Louis Chèze took over the property in 1978 with a single hectare, building the estate steadily around Syrah for the reds and Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier for the whites, with yields held between 25 and 40 hl/ha depending on the cuvée. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the consistency of its wines, the frank mineral expression of Limony's granite, and the commitment of three generations — Louis, Camille and Benoît Chèze — to one of the northern Rhône's most demanding terroirs. A dependable reference from the Vallée du Rhône.
