Deep Ruby with aromas of fruit, nutty spice and earthy notes of this 100% Merlot. On the palate flavors of blackberry, raspberry and ripe plum with notes of licorice, tar and herb spice. Fine tannins, long finish, well balanced, ending with mineral and earthy character. Just starting to drink well but a few more years this wine should “pop.”

Delineation and precision give the Bellevue much of its distinctive character. There is much to like in this nuanced, super-expressive Saint-Émilion from the de Boüard family.
