Domaine Belle, Cuvée Louis Belle, AOP Crozes-Hermitage, Red
Domaine Belle has roots in Hermitage that date back several generations. The estate was founded by Louis Belle in the 1930’s, and in the 90's Philippe Belle built his first modern winery and cellar. The estate covers 25 hectares on the most beautiful terroirs of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, and is certified organic.
Presentation
Domaine Belle benefits from a varied terroir where Syrah for the reds and Marsanne and Roussanne for the whites express themselves in different profiles. The constant quest for low yields, generally between 20 and 40 hectolitres per hectare, involves the adoption of strict pruning and the application of very measured organic fertilization. Rigorous viticultural methods and manual harvesting are used to fully reveal the grape variety's qualitative potential.
Vinification
Traditional, in temperature–controlled stainless steel tanks, partial destemming, daily pumping over and punching down, a final warm maceration, four-week fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
