Description

An Haut-Medoc red wine with a seductive aromatic expression and freshness

The estate

Chateau Belle-Vue is a reference among fine Haut-Medoc wines, an appellation situated near Margaux on the left bank of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

Bearing a High Environmental Value certificate, Chateau Belle-Vue’s almost 15-hectare vineyard is planted on gravel soils, a typical feature of the Haut-Medoc appellation. The thirty-six-year old vines are cultivated according to sustainable viticultural practices.

Maceration for an average of 35 days after fermentation. Aged for 14 to 16 months in barrels (30% new, 30% first-fill 20% second-fill) and in vats (20%).
