Chapoutier's red wines from the 1991 vintage in the southern Rhone have turned out better than one might expect given the difficulties this vintage posed. The 1991 Cotes du Rhone-Belle Ruche reveals a solid, peppery, spicy nose, ripe, medium-bodied flavors, and a round, soft finish. This wine should be drunk over the next 2-3 years.
