Note di degustazione
An incredible showing, the 2020 Château Bellevue is still youthfully ruby/plum-hued and has a classic Saint-Emilion nose of ripe red and black fruits, white truffles, loamy earth, and smoky, tobacco-like nuances. It's beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, and ripe yet mostly resolved tannins. It's drinking at point, yet it's not tired in the least and should have another decade or more of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2040.

The 2020 Bellevue Mondotte is another powerhouse from the team at Pavie. All Merlot from the upper plateau above Château Pavie (the soils here contain a touch more clay), this full-bodied, deep, concentrated 2020 has a tight, unevolved bouquet of darker raspberries, cassis, truffly earth, and chocolate. Balanced, structured, and incredibly pure, it's mostly potential at this point and needs to be forgotten for 5-6 years.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Bellevue is wearing plenty of cedar on the nose to start, giving way to baked blackberries and plum preserves in the background, followed by sautéed herbs wafts. Light to medium-bodied with a refreshing line and chewy tannins, it finishes just a little short and hard.
