2018 vintage. The 2015 of this confidential 100% Merlot cuvée is very good, but this 2018 is a horse of a different breed, displaying more freshness and elegance. Stylish, layered and energetic with a very impressive finish. Abv. 14,5 %.

2015 Secret Château La Rose Bellevue, Blaye. A small 100% production from one old vine plot in Saint-Palais that is only produced in exceptional years. Deep red colour. Intense perfume with strawberry marmelade, subtle spices and a delicate touch of oak. Concentrated, with layers of fruit, impeccable balance and a long finish. More proof of the potential for great wines in Blaye. Highly recommended.
