Château Bellevue Grand Cru Classé 1961

The wine

The Thienport Derenoncourt duo took over the vinifications in 2000, and since then the wines' quality has steadily improved. Previously they tended to lack personality, but since the property's renaissance, they have become generous and full-bodied, offering a distinguished expression of the terroir's potential.

About the Producer Château Bellevue (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru)

Château Bellevue is part of the Saint-émilion Grand Cru Classé appellation. It is owned by Pradel de Lavaux and Boüard de Laforest families. Since 2007, the team from Château Angélus have looked after the domaine which covers 6.8 hectares and is planted entirely to Merlot. The wines from this domaine have progressed enormously since 2000 and are defined by their power and well-rounded tannic structure. A true reference of the appellation.
