Hubert de Bouard (Chateau Angélus) co-owns this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. Bellevue's vineyard faces south-southwest on a slope nestled between three Premier Cru Classés (Ch. Beauséjour Bécot, Ch. Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse, and Ch. Angélus)! The vineyard covers 6.82 hectares in a clay-limestone terroir. Yields are exceptionally low (24hl/ha). Only 1,500 cases of this fine wine are produced! Bellevue is another very affordable Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion and is therefore highly sought after, partly due to its quality-to-price ratio. Château Bellevue's vineyard is composed exclusively of Merlot grapes.

In the glass, the wine has an intense ruby red color with purple reflections. This St. Emilion has refined oak notes, delicate coconut, black wild berries supported by a hint of plum, fresh fig, and a touch of nougat. It has a complex, juicy, tight texture, fresh cherries, ripe, integrated tannins, and is very well-balanced. It has excellent aging potential.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2023 Château Bellevue Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé heeft een rijke en complexe smaak, met verfijnde tonen van zwarte wilde bessen, pruim en verse vijg, aangevuld met subtiele hints van kokosnoot, hout en nougat. Deze elegante wijn met zachte tannines en een mooie balans tussen fruit en hout past perfect bij smaakvolle gerechten zoals een sappige biefstuk, geroosterd gevogelte of feestelijke vleesgerechten. Zeer geschikt om te combineren met gerechten die bereid zijn met een rijke saus of gegrild, waardoor de fruitige en houtige nuances mooi tot hun recht komen.

Château Bellevue, a Grand Cru Classé located in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation, is owned by the Pradel de Lavaux family. The Château Bellevue vineyard occupies a single block of 3 hectares (7.41 acres) and consists exclusively of the Merlot grape variety. Located on one of the finest terroirs in Saint-Emilion, and with some of the great Premiers Grands Crus Classés as close neighbours, the vineyard stretches seamlessly across both slopes and plateau.

Château Bellevue offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The park, with both Mediterranean and Atlantic vegetation, offers an oasis of unique biodiversity in the heart of the vineyard. While strolling through this magical place, visitors can discover a beautiful 17th century chartreuse with balustraded terraces and a rich heritage that traces the history of Saint-Emilion's vines and wine.
