Château Bellerive 2018

This land nestling in the middle of the water, between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, is a little jewel of nature. Situated at the tip of the Médoc, the vines benefit from a temperate, sunny climate, and flourish on precious gravel and clay-limestone soils.

Elegant, subtle and sensual, but also distinctive and uncompromising, this wine invites you on an exciting aromatic journey! A ruby colour with garnet highlights, typicality and minerality, generosity and depth of tannins. A very subtle balance of grape varieties, surprised by unique aromas. Elegant length.
