Tax included
Nose of cedar and tea, slightly smoky. Medium-bodied on the palate, with a pronounced taste of red fruit.
Winemaker and vineyard : Vincent Mulliez acquired Château Belle-Vue in 2004. This estate, located in the Sud-Médoc region, comes from an exceptional terroir. The gravelly soil on which the 30-year-old vines grow, combined with traditional growing techniques, produce an exceptional wine.
Tasting : Blended of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Belle-Vue has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and nose of spice box, cedar chest and oolong tea with a core of red and black currants plus a waft of chargrill. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, soft and juicy with a lovely burst of black fruit in the mouth leading to a savory finish. Nearly 900 cases were made.

Pichon Baron 2011, Pauillac 2nd Grand Cru Classé: structured wine with cassis, cedar, fine tannins. Elegant, balanced, age-worthy (15–20 years).
This cuvée comes from a selection of two plots planted with Grenache, one in 1900 "Charbonnières", the other in 1949 "Esqueirons".
Medium garnet-mauve colour, fragrant with crushed black raspberries, black cherries and blackcurrants, with hints of herbs, garrigue and aniseed.
Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's rich but lively, with a deep core of fruit and an ample endowment of ripe, powdery tannins.
Cherry red color, nose: basket of black berries, palate: melted tannins, harmonious, fruity, very accessible.
Simply magnificent. The wine is rich, with incredible intensity and tannic structure. The finish is long and makes you want to go back for more!
Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bursting with black fruit flavours, framed by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing on a pleasant earthy note.
The palate is full-bodied and powerful, but remains fresh: the balance is perfect. A cuvée that needs time but is already magical, magnificent!
A refined second wine with dark fruit, tobacco notes, silky tannins and a fresh, elegant finish. Classic Saint-Estèphe.
