Domaine Belle Saint Joseph Rouge 2023

Rooted in the Rhône Valley since the 18th century, Domaine Belle is a family estate whose story stretches across generations and terroir. What began as modest land parcels granted to villagers in 1769 gradually grew into a celebrated winery, formally established in 1990 when Philippe Belle returned from oenology studies and joined his father Albert to build a modern winery that would honor the character of their land. Today, under Philippe's stewardship, the Domaine spans 25 hectares across six communes and three appellations — Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, and Saint Joseph — with its heart in the distinctive white clay soils of Larnage, known locally as Les Terres Blanches. With the fourth generation already showing a passion for winemaking, Domaine Belle remains as committed as ever to crafting wines that express the singular identity of their terroir.
