Chateau Bellevue Morgon Cote de Py

DOMAINE

The majestic Chateau de Bellevue, built in the 19th century, on the hill of Bellevue, overlooks the village of Ville-Morgan.  Located in the heart of  the Beaujolais viticulture region in the South of Burgundy.  Industrious vineyard owners from Lyon, built a cellar behind the chateau between 1830-1840, which saw multiple generations make wine at the Chateau.

VINIFICATION & AGEING

Manual harvests carefully sorted in the vineyard and in the cellar. Partial destemming, long maceration for 30 days in wooden vats. Aging on fine lees in large oak barrels for 18 months.

TASTING NOTES

The nose is intense, rich and complex. There are notes of plum, blackberry and blueberry, combined with spicy, cocoa aromas, all on a slightly minty background. The mouth is rich and concentrated, with beautiful silky tannins. The finish is harmonious, the aromas expressive and above all persistent.
