Characteristics and tasting tips for Château Bellevue 2022

Tasting

Nose
The nose releases fruity (stone fruit) and subtly toasted fragrances.

Palate
A velvety attack gives way to an ample and persistent palate. The tannins and the tannic structure are of a great finesse. During the tasting, the palate becomes more complex in unveiling refreshing fruity (fruit of the forest, blueberry) aromas.
