Chateau De Bellet

Located in the heart of the French Riviera, the Chateau De Bellet is a renowned wine producer situated in the Bellet appellation. This stunning estate is nestled in the hills of Nice, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

The history of Chateau De Bellet dates back to the 17th century when the land was first acquired by the Riquier family. It was not until the 19th century that the property was transformed into a working vineyard, and the first vines were planted. Today, the estate is owned and operated by the Riquier family's descendants, who have continued the tradition of producing high-quality wines.

The vineyards of Chateau De Bellet are spread over 13 hectares of land, with a unique terroir that consists of rocky, limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate. This combination of factors contributes to the production of exceptional wines that are a true reflection of the region's terroir.

The Chateau De Bellet is primarily known for its production of red, white, and rosé wines, all of which are made from local grape varieties such as Folle Noire, Braquet, and Rolle. These indigenous grapes are carefully cultivated and hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality of fruit for their wines.

One of the standout wines from Chateau De Bellet is their flagship red wine, the Chateau De Bellet Rouge. This full-bodied wine is a blend of Folle Noire, Braquet, and Grenache, and is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. It boasts complex aromas of dark berries, spices, and a hint of tobacco, with a long and elegant finish.

In addition to their exceptional wines, the Chateau De Bellet also offers guided tours and tastings for visitors to experience the beauty of the estate and its wines. The estate also has a charming restaurant on-site, where guests can enjoy traditional French cuisine paired with their exceptional wines
