Les Arches de Belliviere Raisins Migrateurs Rouge 2023, 750ml

Les Arches de Bellivière, their négociant label, was launched in 2017 with the arrival of their son Clément and after frost damage affected their estate.

Raisins Migrateurs is made from grapes sourced from the slopes of Mont Ventoux, near Avignon, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Aubun (Carignan).

The vines for this wine are located in Ventoux in the southern Rhône and are biodynamically farmed, with an average age of over 45 years. The hand-harvested bunches are transported in small bins by refrigerated truck to the Bellivière cellar.

The grapes are destemmed, macerated for 4 weeks in open top vats, and fermented individually, followed by barrel ageing between 12 and 24 months. The wines are blended in vats and bottled with minimum sulfur addition.

Tasting Note:

The nose is rich and fruity, showing aromas of cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The palate balances the warmth of southern fruit with the freshness of the Nicolas family's winemaking style, offering flavors of red berries and a touch of spice. The finish is clean with soft, integrated tannins.
