Well-focused, with black currant, blueberry and plum sauce notes, featuring a charcoal frame to the solid, slightly toasty finish.
Over the last vintages, notably since 1999, the wines of Chateau Belle-Vue have been regularly distinguished with honors and medals in wine competitions and in the international press. The 9,73-hectare vineyard is located on a plateau with deep gravelly soil (7-10 meters) adjacent to Chateau Giscours (Margaux AOC). The soil is naturally well-drained, enabling the grapes to ripen early.
