Tasting notes
Rock star stuff readers should snatch up, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2019 Château Belle-Vue gives up a gorgeous bouquet of ripe currants, black cherries, tobacco, and cedar pencil. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, elegant Haut-Médoc with velvety tannins, remarkable balance, and a great finish. It's a gorgeous bottle of wine that will keep for over a decade.

From a 15-hectare vineyard just outside the appellation of Margaux, not far from Giscours, the 2019 Belle-Vue offers up aromas of earthy berry fruit, smoky oak and dried herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and melting palate. It's a creditable effort best drunk over the next decade.
