Bellula Rose 24

Bellula Rosé is another one of Jean-Philippe's personal projects, and it's had a spot in our Pink Department for decades. This crisp refresher stands out as one of our favorite best-buy Rosé picks year after year. Like clockwork, Philippe is the very first importer every year to bring in the new crop of Rosé -- most years, we taste these with Philippe on the second or third of January!

A quick swirl and sniff will take you back to your last trip to the South of France! Bellula features a lifted and fresh style of Rosé that's classic Provence Pink without the lofty price tag. Notes of white flowers, violets, and peach blossom greet you on the nose, leading to a crisp, pleasingly dry palate of salty citrus mingling with berries and peach. I love the balance of Syrah and Grenache in this Rosé -- the Syrah adds just the right touch of spice to the abundant fruit of the Grenache.
