6 ha, der ejes i fællesskab med Hubert de Bouard; vinmarken ligger lige oven for hans anden vingård, Angelus, og strækker sig rundt om en lille bakketop. Gamle vinstokke. Der produceres kun 20.000 flasker. Næsten en ren Merlot med lidt Cabernet Franc. Fyldig, sort og rød frugt, meget fyldig, utrolig ekstraheret. Næsten massiv i tanninerne og samtidig sød og moden, næsten lidt for kraftig og ekstraheret. Råvaren var en kraftig vin, og sådan er den også i glasset. Imponerende og meget 2018!

Den enestående årgang 2018 går fra succes til succes i Bordeaux. Efter et ekstremt vådt forår fulgte en perfekt, tør drømmesommer, der sikrede en fænomenal frugtkoncentration. På trods af mild syre imponerer vinene takket være en storslået balance, en silkeagtig struktur og uendelig finesse.

Til årsrapporten

Parker om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

Made of 100% Merlot, the 2018 Bellevue has a deep garnet-purple color and a profound nose of plum preserves, blackberry compote and stewed black cherries, followed by an undercurrent of cedar chest, violets, aniseed and iron ore with a touch of garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate packs the mouth with wonderfully energetic black fruits and a lively backbone, framed by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. 94/100

Suckling om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

Blueberry, plum, praline, dark=chocolate and cedar aromas. Dried lavender, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, sleek and caressing tannins. Polished, seamless layers of fruit and wood with a long finish. Such polish and class. Try from 2026. 95/100

Galloni om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

The 2018 Bellevue has a gorgeous bouquet of copious red berry fruit, crushed rock, rose petals and cedar scents that gain intensity with aeration. The fresh, vibrant palate is very well balanced with fine tannins, perfect acidity, precise mineral drive and a classy finish. This is a superb Bellevue that lives up to its promise from barrel.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

Lots of red and blue fruits, violets, orange blossom, and more exotic notes emerge from the 2018 Château Bellevue. Medium to full-bodied, it offers beautiful purity, ripe tannins, and a good spine of acidity that keeps everything fresh and vibrant. Beautifully done, it will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for upwards of 15 years or more.
