But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Flavor Profile
Talented winemaker Mark Hoddy loves to explore the wilds of southern France in search of special vineyard plots. Then, he takes the grapes back to his Bordeaux winery, Le Chai au Quai (a “fabulous venture,” writes (Decanter), where he crafts unique, first-class wines alongside Château Haut-Brion-trained winemaker Jean Marc Sauboua.
Mark’s latest mission? A stylish southern French Cabernet with loads of black-fruit flavor—and a top-value price tag. No easy feat. But take a sip of Belle Roche, and we think you’ll see that he’s accomplished his goal.
Previous vintages have scooped major acclaim, including “French Wine of the Year” at the China Wine & Spirits Best Value Awards and a gold medal from France’s premier wine guide, Gilbert & Gaillard: “Beautiful dark purple appearance. Fruity nose evoking small ripe blackberries. A lovely tannic structure on the palate, with ripe aromas and fruit rapidly and richly evolving into chocolate notes.” The new 2020 release is every bit as impressive—arriving with two gold medals of its own.
As with a fine Bordeaux, we recommend you decant the wine an hour before serving to soften the tannins and open up all those black-fruit flavors. And just like Bordeaux, Belle Roche was made to be enjoyed with food. It will be delicious with a juicy steak, rack of lamb, and even hearty stews or casseroles.
