NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château La Caze Bellevue displays a deep ruby color, indicating its youth and vibrancy.On the nose, it offers an array of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of capsicum and tobacco. The palate showcases a harmonious balance between its rich fruit flavors and well-integrated tannins. The black fruit notes persist, accompanied by additional layers of spice and earthiness. The wine's medium to full body provides a satisfying mouthfeel, while its lively acidity adds freshness and structure.
