Product Description
Once again, thanks to the diversity of the vineyard’s exposure and soils, this is a vintage in which Château Bellevue’s different plots combine to offer a multi-faceted Merlot. The color is ink-black with violet glints. Magnificent aromas of black fruits mingling with notes of graphite come to the fore on the nose. The entry on the palate is fresh, while the tannic structure is dense and taut and is underpinned by lovely acidity that brings precision, verticality and length of flavor. A long-aging wine that, like all great vintages of Château Bellevue, will reveal its full personality in a few years’ time.
wine score
95 points Wine Advocate
Bellevue is a pretty little vineyard poised just above Château Angelus in Saint-Émilion. The soils here are clay/limestone, and it is planted to 100% Merlot. Deep purple-black in color, the 2019 Bellevue rolls sensuously out of the glass with enticing notes of preserved plums, blueberry compote and Black Forest cake plus hints of powdered cinnamon, clove oil, candied violets and star anise. Full-bodied, concentrated and totally seductive in the mouth, the decadent black and blue fruits are well-supported by firm yet velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully opulent.Profile
