Espace Vins du Château de Bellevue

MORGON Château de Bellevue - Climat Les Charmes

These 40 year-old vines are planted on East/South-eastern facing slopes in the Les Charmes climat. The grapes are vinified in the fermentation room of the chateau according to the traditional Burgundy methods and destemming. A long, 25-day fermentation period with manual cap punching allows for a long, slow extraction of silky tannins, typical of this climat.
The wine is then partially aged in oak foudres and barrels for 9 to 10 months.

This Morgon Château de Bellevue Climat Les Charmes is a superb wine, redolent of red and morello cherries with hints of kirsch and fine, elegant tannins.

MORGON Château de Bellevue Réserve Caveau - Le Clos

These 70 year-old vines are located immediately around the château. The grapes are vinified in two different styles: half according to the destemmed, traditional Burgundy method; half in whole bunches. A long, 25-day fermentation period follows, to conserve a maximum amount of fruit and the characteristics of the terroir, and to propose a complex wine with round tannins. 
The wine is aged in oak barrels for 10 months.

This Morgon unveils an intense, toasted nose of elderberries and black cherries, with a hint of cinnamon. In the mouth, the wine is structured and elegant, with firm, round tannins.
