Chateau Bellevue De Tayac AOC Margaux
Appellation:
Margaux
Grape Varietal:
70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes:
Château BELLEVUE de TAYAC combines elegancy, finesse and purity typical of the Margaux appellation. Fruit-driven and pure, with a mix of mulberry, red currant and damson plum notes, laced with espresso-tinged toast and backed by light savory and iron hints on the finish. The wine drinks beautifully after 3 to 4 years aging and has a great cellaring potential.
Vineyard:
Surface 4.5 ha planted on the north of Margaux Appellation. Type of soil: gravel hilltop on clay. The soil is worked in order to promote rooting. No weedkiller used.
Vinification:
Our goal is to approach the perfect balance between finesse and power. We adapt our practices at every vintages in order to respond in the best possible manner to the « vintage effects ». Two pumping over are realized every day to extract softly the color and the tannins. Macerations last between 4 to 5 weeks approximately. Eric Boissenot is the winemaker consultant for several years now.
Aging:
60% new oak barrels during 12 to 14 months.
