Chateau Flamand-Bellevue Bordeaux Rouge 2018

Garnet red to purplish disc, good depth and clear. Expressive nose of ripe fruit, dominated by blackcurrant and strawberry purée with cedar notes. The attack is fresh and lively, the palate is round, fleshy with sap and tension. Nice length with ripe tannins and fine allies at a gourmet fruit.

The 100 hectares of our vineyard are settled on the hillsides, in calcareous clay and gravel.The vineyard is the highest in the town of Tresses, ten kilometres from the centre of Bordeaux. Facing south, the vineyard is, as tradition dictates, planted with the following grape varieties: mostly Merlot 70%, which brings the softness, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon for the strong side, and 8% Cabernet Franc for finesse, supplemented with 1% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot.
