Les Belles Collines

Georges Dubœuf

Belles Grives Morgon Gamay 2019

Light-brewed tea, mushroom, fresh rosemary, dark plum and cherry, ripe strawberry on the nose. Subtle notes of white tea, rosemary, strawberry, ripe red cherry, baked button mushrooms on the palate. Nice light Beaujolais with enough weight to stand up to some light meats or hearty pastas. — 2 years ago

Excellent Chardonnay - lemon curd, white peach, floral notes on the notes. Acidity is just right and ends in a long complex finish that lingers. — 6 years ago

L'Étrange Gamay Blend 2015

Bright and focused. The Pinot helps drive the Gamay towards a more precise finish. — 7 years ago

Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard

Les Belles Filles Pernand-Vergelesses Chardonnay 2018

Chilled this burgundy felt restrained, minimal, and one dimensional. As it opened up though, paired with a delicious bouillabaisse, escargot and the best foie gras I’ve ever had, thus started to really come into its own. Medium body, a refined minerality but with delicious notes of crisp apple, baking spice, and an some richer, pastry like notes on the finish, this wine truly came into its own with some warmth and time. Not too rich, not too dry, a perfect balance of crisp fruit, minerality, and baked richness for shellfish dishes with a tomato base. — 4 years ago

Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

Heluicum Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2018

It's sharp. Dark fruit (a plum for sure) and leather. Short oaky finish. — 5 years ago

Cuvée Les Belles Voyes Avize Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special. — 7 years ago

Domaine Vincent Paris

Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2023

This 2023 is an affordable “ Brother” of the northern Rhône. All about light bodied freshness and nuance, hints at it s big brothers in Crozes Hermitage. Will be a delightful picnic wine as the warmer weather arrives. Under $20 a bottle. — a year ago

Belles Grives Morgon Gamay 2018

I always say you have to subtract several points off a JS rating but this one you only have to subtract a couple. This is pretty though: raspberries, jammy, dry and acidic. Balanced. — 4 years ago

La Grange aux Belles

Coup de Boule Gamay Grolleau Noir Rosé Blend

Smelled like fresh baked pizza out of the oven at first pour. Continued to give off plenty of funky and herbaceous character for a couple days. So much savory character here backed with bubbles. A unique thing yes — 6 years ago

Domaine les Alexandrins

Intuition Vin De Pays Des Collines Rhodaniennes 2014

This is still an ass- kicking wine. Big, bold, Stoney, not your daddy’s gamay. Has that intense candied cherry mouth, but in a sophisticated way. Awesome stuff. — 7 years ago
