Winemaker Notes
All the charm of the Southern Cotes du Rhône with the elegance of the Northern Cotes du Rhône. Bright yellow color with intense green reflection. Nose with notes of grapefruit, exotic fruits and then lemony notes. In mouth, the extraordinary freshness invades the palace then the richness and the fat cover the mucous membranes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A sensational wine readers should snatch up is the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Villages Valréas Blanc! Made from 65% Marsanne, 30% Viognier and 5% Roussanne, it offers lots of pineapple, white peach, tangerine and buttered citrus in its rich, mouth-filling, medium to full-bodied style. It has more in common with a northern Rhône white than the Southern Rhône, and will shine on the dinner table.

Spectator
Acquired in 2010 by Stephane Vedeau, Clos Bellane is situated on the tray of Vinsobres, in the southeast of Valreas, in the heart of the Enclave of the Popes in Vaucluse, but inside the Drome. The estate benefits from an exceptionally cool climate at an altitude of 410 m and is home to 120 beehives and a truffle forest. The vineyard, from which offers itself an exceptional panorama on Ventoux and the Laces of Montmirail, extends over 48 hectares all in one piece, in southeast, southwest exposure. In red Grenache dominates, completed by Syrah, whereas Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier and sparkling white wine are divided the roles into white.
