Grand Cru Classé

The 2016 Bellevue shoots out of the glass with enthusiastic aromas of crushed plums, kirsch, ripe blackberries and rose petals plus notes of yeast extract, black olives, anise and cinnamon toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness that carries the concentrated, layered fruit to a good, long finish .
