This red offering is an excellent value. The richly fruity 2000 Crozes-Hermitage Les Pierrelles is always the most obvious wine from Belle. A soft, deep ruby-colored effort revealing hints of olives, Provencal herbs, tapenade, leather, and black cherry/berry fruit, this round, easy-going 2000 is best consumed during its first 3-4 years of life. It is aged completely in old barriques. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
