September 11, 2023 - St. Emilion Grand Cru Classés Walkaround tasting, so just short notes (Amsterdam): This is a 100% Merlot from a clay and limestone soil. Smoky and savory bouquet with beautifully dosed oak. Same on the palate, creamy and round with beautiful acidity and round tannin.

March 21, 2023 - Supple, sensuous and fresh, there is a vibrancy and purity to the fruits that makes you want to pay attention. Full-bodied, rich and generous, the wine feels as good as it tastes as it feels. The fruits linger and expand on your palate through to the finish. This is in contention for the best vintage of Chateau Bellevue I have ever tasted. It is so good now, it is impossible to resist. But, it is only going to get better with age. The wine is produced from 100% old vine Merlot. Drink from 2025-2050.

May 22, 2021 - 92-94 vvPunkte Intensive Nase, ein Gedicht, Kräuter, dunkle Kirsche, Brombeeren, feine Röstaromatik, nussige Noten. Im Gaumen dicht, mit Druck, satte, reife Frucht, fein gewobene Gerbstoffe, der Wein zeigt viel Körper und Kraft, eine komplexe Aromatik und im Abgang eine ausgezeichnete Länge. Einmal mehr ein eindrücklicher Wein. 2026-2040 (April/Mai 2021)

May 20, 2021 - Flowers, black plums, cherries, licorice, wet earth and cigar box aromas create the beautiful nose. On the palate the wine is medium/full-bodied, soft, silky, fresh, sweet and polished. There is a gorgeous sense of purity to the fruit, opulence on the palate and in the finish that really works here. The wine is produced from 100% old vine Merlot. 94-96
