Description
Hubert de Bouard (Chateau Angélus) is co-owner of this Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé. Bellevue has the vineyard with a south-southwest exposure on the slope between three Premier Cru Classés (Ch. Beauséjour Bécot, Ch. Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse and Ch. Angélus)! The vineyard covers 6.82 hectares with a terroir of clay-limestone and limestone. The yields are particularly low (24hl/ha). Only 1500 cases of this beautiful wine are produced! The Bellevue is a very affordable Grandcru from St Emilion and is therefore very popular considering quality versus price. The vineyard of Château Bellevue consists exclusively of the Merlot grape variety.
The wine has an intense ruby red color with purple reflections in the glass. This St Emilion has refined wood nuances, delicate coconut, black wild berries supported by a hint of plum, fresh fig and a little nougat. Complex, juicy, close texture, fresh cherries, ripe integrated tannins, very balanced. Has good aging potential.
