Bellevue
Chateau Bellevue is known to have exceptional terroir. Its diverse soil is rich in clay and magnesium higher up the hill, whilst lower down it contains more chalk. This produces wine with complexity and as much character as the estate itself, which co-exists with ancient ruins from Roman vintners.

Wine Advocate (94)The first bottle of 2005 Bellevue that I tasted had a maderized, oxidized nose that was off-putting. This note is from a second bottle. This second bottle showed absolutely no trace of oxidation, but did offer plenty of crushed, chalky minerality, notes of plum, blueberry, black raspberry and cherry fruit, a dense purple color, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and fabulous structure, purity and length. It should drink well for at least another 20+ years. |
