2016 Domaine Louis Chèze ‘Bellissima’ Rhone

Bright, pure and racy, with a sleek, iron-edged structure supporting the core of red currant, bitter cherry and damson plum fruit. Light bay leaf and olive nuances add sparkly energy throughout. Cellar for maximum effect. Best from 2020 through 2035. 750 cases made.
Estate Notes: Louis Cheze founded his estate in 1978 in Limony, a small town on the west side of the river Rhone. The beginning was modest. He started with one hectare in Saint Joseph. Limony is just a few kilometres south of the exclusive vineyards in Ampuis and Condrieu. Soon Louis Cheze had expanded his business with vineyards in both Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie.
