The name "Bésoleil" is a fusion of the Spanish word "Beso" and the French word "Soleil," roughly translated "kissed by the sun." This name embodies our strong belief that a remarkable representation of Grenache (and similar varietals from the Southern Rhône) can flourish in Washington's unique blend of sunlight and soil. Inspired by Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the iconic French wine known for its Grenache-dominant blend, our Bésoleil is all about instant allure, luxurious aromas, and a seductive texture.
The 2022 vintage is a blend of 45% Grenache, 25% Counoise, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Petite Sirah.

"What a fragrant Rhone-style blend, exuding red cherry and plum fruit, rose petals and sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and supple, with silky tannins and an elegant finish. 45% grenache, 25% counoise, 20% mourvedre and 10% petite sirah. Drink or hold."
