Domaine Belle

C'est en 1990, avec l'achat des Pierrelles, que le Domaine Belle devient essentiellement ce qu'il est aujourd'hui. Ce qui, à l'origine, n'était qu'un petit domaine de quatre hectares et demi et subsistait en vendant le fruit de ses vignes à la coopérative de Tain l'Hermitage, se transforme en un domaine exploitant près de 25 hectares et produisant environ 100'000 bouteilles par an.

L'essentiel du vignoble est situé en Crozes Hermitage, mais les Belle possèdent aussi des vignes à l'Hermitage (1 ha. en rouge et ½ ha. en blanc) et en Saint Joseph (½ ha.) Si les rouges étaient un peu en dessous des niveaux habituels, cette dégustation m'a permis de découvrir des blancs de grande finesse et fraîcheur. Philippe Belle explique qu'au fil des ans il a augmenté l'apport de roussanne dans les blancs afin de leur donner plus d'élégance et de fraîcheur. Ça semble avoir fonctionné, surtout pour l'excellent Hermitage.

 

en blanc

Hermitage blanc 2007, Domaine Belle (N.D. 70,75$)
Un demi hectare, dans les climats dits "les péléas" et "maison blanche" avec des vignes d'âge moyen de 38 ans et des rendements de 30 hl. /ha. L'élevage de 20 mois en fûts, dont 75% neufs, avec bâtonnage. Le nez possède un très joli nez, aux nuances florales, chèvrefeuille, fruit blanc, mûr, croquant, avec des arômes boisés, vanillés, qui deviennent un peu redondants à la longue. La bouche est vraiment d'une très belle matière, dense, volumineuse, avec une chair compacte, du fruit blanc, mûr, des traces boisées, vanillées, graphitées, bonne longueur. Vraiment un très bel hermitage, d'une élégance presque bourguignonne, il aurait pu être encore meilleur si sa fraîcheur et sa floralité avaient eu plus de liberté d'expression.

Crozes Hermitage "les terres blanches" 2008, Domaine Belle (N.D. 26,80$)
Deux hectares, marsanne (70%) roussanne (30%), d'âge moyen de 35 ans, l'élevage est en fûts, dont un tiers neufs. Joli nez, frais, avec des notes florales, aux nuances d'amande et d'anis, en évoluant il gagne un subtil caractère de pain grillé. Bouche ample, ronde, d'une belle matière fruitée, expressive, délicate, de bonne maturité. Plutôt bien fait.

en rouge


Hermitage 2005, Domaine Belle (SAQ 11154814– 70,75$)
Un hectare, dans le climat dit "les murets" avec des vignes d'âge moyen de quarante ans. L'élevage, jusqu'à 26 mois, s'effectue en fûts, dont 75% neufs. Il offre un joli nez, frais, profond, de belle maturité, avec une douceur boisée, vanillée, qui se mêle à un fruit de mûres. Bouche ample, assez dense, souple, avec une belle matière fruitée, de concentration moyenne, enrobée de traces de chêne neuf, finale de fruit noir, de chocolat et de réglisse. 
(*** ½ - mars/10 - Fed)

Crozes Hermitage "Cuvée Louis Belle" 2006, Domaine Belle (SAQ 917484 – 27,95$)
Cette cuvée hommage au grand-père Belle, fondateur de la Cave coopérative en 1933, est issue de 7,5 hectares de vignes d'âge moyen de 55 ans. L'élevage de seize mois est effectué avec l'utilisation de 25% de fûts neufs. Rubis-pourpre, de très bonne saturation. Beau nez, ample, mûr, profond, avec une douceur boisée très subtile qui se mêle à la maturité du fruit de framboise. La bouche est ample, assez fluide, tendue par une bonne acidité, légère astringence tannique en arrière palais, finale discrète, un peu légère. Pas aussi convaincant que d'habitude.

Crozes Hermitage "les pierrelles" 2007, Domaine Belle (SAQ 863795 – 24,85$)
Lorsque les Belle ont racheté les Pierrelles, les vignes étaient plantées de façon à favoriser la mécanisation de la vendange. Un travail graduel de replantation a du être effectué afin d'augmenter la densité de plantation. Les 11 hectares de vignes des Pierrelles conservent néanmoins une moyenne d'âge de plus de trente ans. Rubis-pourpre, de très bonne saturation, le 2007 est un Crozes mûr, chaud, assez profond, avec des arômes de prune et d’épices, sur un fond poivré, réglissé. La bouche est de bonne matière, avec des saveurs de prune mûre et de chocolat.

I was just chatting with my coworker about this the other day over lunch . Don't know how in the world we landed on the subject actually , they brought it up. I do remember eating a amazing chicken salad with cranberries on it. I digress...

So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can't resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

Hey, I just hopped over to your site via StumbleUpon. Not somthing I would normally read, but I liked your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something worth reading.
