There is no question anymore.
Belcoop Red and White have become two of the most successful value wines we have picked up in recent years...and part of that success involved a sale price we negotiated with the supplier last year, allowing us to sell this wine at $7.99 two different times.
Well, it's been almost 8 months since we were last able to get this deal rolling, but we are finally back in action, and it feels so good!
All I can tell you is this - at $9.99 these wines deliver the goods. At $7.99 per bottle? From across the ocean? Sometimes I have a hard time understanding how things like this even exist!! A hotel in Dallas last week charged me $15 for a yogurt. In a world where that happens, Belcoop seems like breath of fresh air!
What's up with the wines?
Well the white wine is Grenache Blanc, a white mutation of Grenache Noir, and that grape varietal is a work in progress only because the consumer is still discovering it. Producers long ago realized its potential for crisp white wines that are so much more than merely crisp. With enough sunshine, Grenache Blanc can develop weight and power, not quite Chardonnay but no light white either. In truth, it’s not wholly a white wine in its density, befitting its kinship with the major grape of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The wine is fermented like Chardonnay in some ways, though the stainless steel variety; its lees are stirred in the tank, creating greater richness and texture, and Grenache Blanc is very happy that way.
and the Red?
The massive Pays d’Oc, or the country of the “Oc” language (people spoke that in the south before they spoke French), covers the greater part of Mediterranean France. After the railroad was built, linking the south to Paris, wines of the Languedoc filled the carafes of Parisian bistros, and they still do today. But the last century has seen vast improvements to the wines that once were built only for value. Technical know-how learned from Rhone Valley producers is applied to these gems: flash pasteurization for part of the crop helps deliver vibrant fruit and rich flavors, much as it does for some famed names in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. What all that delivers is a delicious red wine that layers on the complexity and richness you want in a full bodied red wine, with almost no harsh edges.
These wines actually remind me a lot of the house wines you get in the local french villages - endlessly quaffable, super affordable and they had never given you a headache (well, unless you drink the whole bottle but that's like a whole different thing 😂)
I know what I'm drinking tonight!
