Foreword by John Verge Book of J-J. Ninon: The Bellet wine yesterday and today:

Choose to drink these sunny wines young, stone and strong aroma plants, they are the further East Provence wines. The whites are distinguished by their yellow and lime scent of flowers, grapefruit and apricot long present in the mouth.

The rosé, slightly saffron shades are bright in color and leave a taste of red fruits.

In contrast, red deserve aging reveal tannins already fused with amplitude notes a little advanced toast and prunes, a good balance in the mouth.

I would not hesitate to drink a few gulps of free white served fresh with beautiful slices of toasted country bread, spread with anchovy and olive tapenade or some crunchy fresh vegetables and rich heritage of this beautiful futures. For red, I 'll throw my heart on a rabbit stew cooked in the same wine that will accompany then. Above all, do not spare the fresh thyme so abundant on the hills of Bellet!

Let's round these rosé wines served along with fresh "ganses" and a fruit salad soaked in wine.

Let the gentle caressing of these scents excite your taste buds discover the sensual tenderness of wine from the meeting as dishes, preferably of the same soil. This is the success of a great time, a great deal, a moment of happiness ... This is how we live in this beautiful country of Nice, at Bellet.
