Château Belle-Vue

Red wine | Haut-Médoc AC

A Médoc who is familiar with the grown-ups!
Château Belle-Vue is considered one of the best Crus Bourgeois in the Médoc, at the level of certain classified growths, combining finesse and power, in a very beautiful balance. Its originality lies in the estate's grape varieties, where Petit Verdot constitutes 20% of the total, an unusually large proportion in Bordeaux, bringing with it its floral and spicy expression.

Colour

Garnet with purplish reflections.

Nose

Beautiful intensity, with floral, fruity and spicy notes.

Palate

Caressing from the attack, then melting in the mid-palate. Lingering flavors of ripe fruit. Tight tannins which will gain finesse during aging. Very elegant and well balanced. Sappy finish.

Wine-growing terroir

Château Belle-Vue is located in the town of Macau in the south of Médoc. The vineyard grows in a zone of balance and climatic moderation, ensured by the proximity of the ocean and the Gironde. The gravelly earth, chiseled for millennia by the slow contributions of the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, gives the wine concentration and aromatic finesse.

Winemaking

Pre-fermentation cold maceration for 20 days and post-fermentation for 35 days, aging in oak barrels, 40% of which is new wood (the wood is selected for its very fine grains and its origin).

Jean-Marc Quarin Dark, intense and purple color. Moderately intense, fruity and subtle nose. Soft on the palate, juicy in the middle, very aromatic, the wine caresses the palate with great taste. Lovely sappy finish, with fine and even fragrant tannicity. It's very good. For the third year in a row, this vintage maintains this level. In 2020, he has never been so close to a Margaux. Well done !
