2016 Château de Bellet Bellet Blanc

Situated on the hills above Nice, Chateau de Bellet was part of a baronial estate established in 1777. Today, a historic chapel sits at the heart of a modern winery that has produced many notable wines. This estate white is produced from a 3.2-hectare parcel of Vermentino vines which average 30 years old and produce very limited yields of high-quality, organically grown grapes. The wine is citric and floral in tone with the grapes macerated at cold temperatures and the wine fermented and aged for 10 months in 500-liter oak barrels.
