Winemaker Notes
Sainte Hélène derives its name from the specific parcel of the Belles Eaux vineyard, a magnificent sloping terrace of deep villafranchian gravel. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mouvèdre and old Carignan. Sainte Hélène is a deep purple colour, with a wild spice nose and ripe fruits married with woody notes. The full silky tannins express the essence of the terrior of Chateau de Belles Eaux.
Professional Ratings
- Wine Spectator
The wines of Chateau Belles Eaux are a result of the marriage of two terriors. The terrior of Belles Eaux. Almost 60 hectares, is planted with Syrah, Grenache, Mouvèdre, Merlot and old Carignan. These grape varieties, both fruity and robust, have been grown in the soils of the mid-slope alluvial terrace of gritty clay. They are the heart of the wines produced at the Estate. The name is derived from the many freshwater springs on the property, which is situated in the heart of the Languedoc near Pézenas. The winemaker, Cédric Loiseau is also known for his brilliant work at Chateau Pichon Baron.
