About the wine
- Château de Crémat is an historical winery of Provence created in 1904. Located in Nice, it is here that the Bellet appellation was created, and remains one of the most distinguished DOCs in France.
- This is a BIG wine. Using Fuella Nera fruit native to the foothills of the Alps, and a touch of delicate old vine Grenache, Alain has crafted a perfectly balanced and harmonious red.
- The powerful impact of the generous, ripe fruit flavours, is deftly softened by melt-in-the-mouth tannins.

Serving advice
Best served at 16-18°C. Open and serve straight from the bottle after allowing the wine 15 minutes to breathe.
Food match
Great with any kind of Provençal Stew. My personal favourite dishes are Mediterranean-style stuffed aubergine with rice, tomato, onion, garlic… or a lamb shoulder/rack.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Alain Valles
- Alain’s historical winery Château de Crémat sits in the heart of Bellet, Nice - one of the most distinctive and historic appellations in France. With a teeny 60 hectares of vines to its name, this is a winemaking enclave that proves that good things really do come in small packages.
- A man with a taste for niche wines and unique land (he spent the last 15 years as Head of Culture at an ancient monastery in the French Riviera) - Alain was drawn to Bellet's mystique, and has since fallen head over heels for the magical appellation and its potential for exceptional wines.
- He played an important role in the conversation that made Bellet the first appellation in France to convert to 100% organic agriculture, encouraging healthier well-structured soils, and more defined, flavourful wines. It requires resilience and constant high-standards, but results in some of the most expressive reds, floral whites, and stylish rosé you’ll ever taste.
