The winemaker is Daniel Péraldi.
The Galiniere Vineyards
Mount Sainte Victoire (made famous by French artist Paul Cézanne) is located in the Cotes de Provence region, 6 miles away, Eastbound, from the famous city of Aix-En-Provence.
The vines are, on average, 30 years of age and are situated at the foothills of the "Cengle" range of hills in the village of Chateauneuf-le-Rouge on the road from Aix-en-Provence to Italy. The soil consists mainly of Bauxite which gives the soil its beautiful red color, together with clay and chalk.

Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Deep garnet in color with an aromatic medley of black cherry, marionberry, ripe plum and a hint of anise. Dark fruit on the palate with flavors of wild berries, caramelized oak and cacao nibs complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, cedar and a hint of lavender and forest floor. Rich and unrestrained, this wine’s abundant fruit is beautifully balanced by firm acidity and layers of red and black fruit.
Review:
This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas. The palate is hefty and heavy, carrying ripe berry but also tart red-plum-skin flavors, as licorice adds spice
