"Even better, and a real sleeper of the vintage, is the 2009 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche red. Dominated by 80% Grenache, with the rest Syrah and Mourvedre, this wine has a deep ruby/purple-tinged color to the rim, a big, spicy, peppery, kirsch-scented nose, and medium-bodied, juicy flavors, with intriguing minerality and loads of fruit and texture. This is a very serious Cotes du Rhone that should drink nicely for 3-4 years. (To Chapoutier’s credit, this is made completely from contracted biodynamically farmed vineyards, as opposed to buying fermented juice from growers.) "

The Wine Advocate
"Chapoutier's Belleruche red succeeds admirably in 2009, marrying superripe black cherries with hints of chocolate and cedar in this mouthfilling, richly textured wine. Drink it over the next few years."
Wine Enthusiast
"A light, soft and perfumy style, offering tea, mulled spice and supple cherry notes framed by a dusty finish. Fresh and balanced. Drink now. 20,000 cases imported."
