18 Rene Gabriel
100 % Merlot. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Reifes Beerenbouquet, mit ganz feinen Röstnoten unterlegt, legt zu an der Luft und zeigt eine wunderschöne Komplexität. Im Gaumen stoffig, nachhaltiges Extrakt, viel Walderdbeeren von der generellen Fruchtausrichtung her, hat Reserven und gibt eine klassische Marschrichtung von der Aromatik her vor. Ein geduldiger Wein mit grossartigem Potential. 18/20 2023 – 2040

Produced from 100% Merlot, the 2015 Bellevue gives up a deep garnet-purple color and quite an earthy/savory nose with tilled soil, charcuterie and roasted nut notions over a core of plum preserves, black forest cake and licorice plus hints of tar and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied with firm, rounded tannins and vibrant fruit expression lifted by a lovely line of freshness, it finishes on a minerally note.

Château Bellevue
Château Bellevue was originally owned by the two families behind the famed Horeau-Beylot négociant house – de Conink and Pradel de Lavaux. However, in September of 2007, Chateau Angélus purchased a fifty-percent share of the company. Neighboring châteaux Angélus, Beaséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse and Beau-Séjour Bécot, this acquisition was based on the property’s vicinity, as well as its top terroir. But this purchase was already a previous dream of Maurice de Boüard de Laforest, in 1938 he had hoped to buy this estate and seventy years later his children and grand-children have realized his dream. Today, the de Lavaux family stills owns fifty-percent of the property. Together, the two families work side by side to produced incredible wines with the help of vinous experts, Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt.
