M. Chapoutier Belleruche Côtes-du-Rhône Grenache-Syrah Blend

A little too minerally to rate higher. Bill McCleary, Surdyk’s: "Minerally undercurrent, with blackberry and red currant followed by tar and floral notes. Well-structured finish. Chapoutier uses biodynamic farming to grow his grapes. This is an excellent example of a southern Rhone red with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blended to a tasty finish. Soft on tannin with no harsh finish. A spiciness that layers over the fruit."

Nothing wrong really, just not for me. Notably, I think this was better than the 15' Parallele 45 I had not too long ago. Soft palate and blue fruit driven. Dusty and spicy. Touch warm. Ok.

Nice CDR, but really nice because we are sharing the bottle with family in Paris.

Screw top, drop top. Half of the bottle was consumed on the first day while the remaining half was finished three days later. On day one, it was super fresh and racy...almost reminded me of cru Beaujolais. By day three, it had gained weight and complexity. Blue and red fruits, some garrigue and meat. Fresh berries and minerals on the palate. Lacking uniqueness but this was so much better after it got some air. 2015 was a very flattering vintage for the Southern Rhône and I suspect that will prove true through most of Europe. Drink after a long decant or over the next five years.
