All about French Wines > Provence Wines > Bellet Wines

High above Nice and the shimmering blue Bay of Angels, the terraced parcel of land known as Le Bellet, a 136-acre expanse of vineyards in the western foothills of the city, is a wine-lover's sun-drenched secret. And for good reason. Only 200,000 bottles of Nice's superb award-winning wines are produced each year, by 14 vineyards.

The whites are totally characteristic and aromatic, and the rosés are produced using a large number of different grapes. Two local grape varieties (folle - or fuella - and braquet) gives the reds a truly distinctive quality.

Bellet wines are highly recommended as accompaniments to the famous cuisine of Nice.
