Description
A Red Wine from Haut-Médoc by Château Belle-Vue
The Property
The Château Belle-Vue is a vintage from Haut-Médoc, close to Margaux, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Following the new classification established in 2020, Château Belle-Vue was awarded the title of Exceptional Cru Bourgeois.
The Vineyard
Certified High Environmental Value, the nearly 15-hectare vineyard is planted on typical gravel soils of the Haut-Médoc appellation. The thirty-year-old vines are cultivated according to the principles of sustainable viticulture.
The Vintage
A rainy winter was followed by a mild and equally wet spring. More favorable conditions from mid-June promoted homogeneous flowering and the gradual development of the vine. This precocity of the vine persisted until the harvest.
Vinification and Aging
The search for a gentle extraction is a priority during vinification. A pre-fermentation cold maceration is complemented by the exclusive use of gravity racking and a return of the juices by spraying on the pomace. A post-fermentation maceration is carried out to refine the tannins. The aging lasts 14 to 16 months in barrels (30% new barrels).
Blend
Château Belle-Vue 2020 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon (48%), merlot (30%), petit verdot (20%), cabernet franc (1%) and carménère (1%).
