Château Bellevue 2008 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic and offers a small generosity and elegance. It reveals notes of blackberry, strawberry and small notes of raspberry associated with toasted touches, sweet spices as well as a very discreet hint of flowers / gray pepper and an imperceptible hint of undergrowth. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, very slightly tight and offers a slight acidulous frame, minerality, a small freshness as well as juiciness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cherry, raspberry and juicy / fresh blackberry associated with small touches of undergrowth, Zan, small berries as well as a discreet touch of tobacco. Good length. Tannins are fine, a bit firm and well-built. There are an imperceptible touch of almond and tonka bean on the persistence.
