Meget tæt, meget koncentreret, massiv frugt og alligevel yderst elegant og silkeagtig. Denne direkte nabo til Angelus, Coutet og Beau Sejour Becot, der ligger på sine blot 3 hektar rene kalksten, er en sand perle. Og årgangen 2023 er desuden yderst charmerende.

Suckling om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

Bark, dark chocolate, mushroom and sweet berry aromas come through nicely. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins, hints of green and black olives and a savory finish. 100% merlot. Drinkable now, but better from 2027.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

Black cherries, crushed rocks, flowers, espresso, and licorice fill the aromatic profile. The wine is lifted, vibrant, and elegant. The finish is long, bright, and loaded with ripe fruits, accompanied by a salty edge in the vibrant finish. The wine is produced from 100% old, vine Merlot. Drink from 2029-2045.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Bellevue Grand Cru Classe

From vines just south of Angélus (just 3 hectares), the 2023 Château Bellevue is all Merlot raised in 50% new oak, with a small portion in foudre. It has a great nose of ripe red and black fruits, chocolaty oak, and graphite that gives way to more spice and savory flower notes with time in the glass. Medium-bodied and balanced, with terrific concentration (especially in the vintage), this balanced, textured, impressive 2023 is worth seeking out.
