Chateau Bellevue Paycharneau 2016 Chateau Bellevue Peycharneau

Aquitaine Wine Company discovered Chateau Bellevue Peycharneau with the 2000 vintage. Chteau Bellevue Peycharneau was the first wine in the Aquitaine Wine Portfolio and is today our best selling Bordeaux Superieur worldwide. This small estate of 15 hectares is located in Pineuilh, east of St. Emilion, on the eastern border of the Gironde near Sainte Foy la Grande and Bergerac. In fact, it is technically an AOC St. Foy Bordeaux. The owner of the estate, the Onillon family (also owners of the supermarkets Leclerc) and the cellar master/winemaker, Mr. Jean-Claude Pires, have succeeded in producing an outstanding wine at a good value. In blind tastings, it tastes like a St. Emilion Grand Cru. The wine receives gold medals every year and is rated as one of the top Bordeaux Superieur wines.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet robe with mauve refraction. A beautiful nose, very concentrated and complex with woody, vanilla flavors, delicate toasty notes, and red cherry aromas. On the palate, its full-bodied, fleshy, structured, and velvety. Good tannic balance. A beautiful, savory finish, with long aromatic persistence.
