$8.20The Story
Château Bellevue is a striking 19th-century residence in Villié-Morgon, built in 1840 by Lyon industrialists, and one of the most respected domaines in Beaujolais. While the estate sits within the Morgon appellation, it also farms parcels in neighbouring Fleurie, one of the ten Beaujolais crus and one consistently associated with floral delicacy and finesse. This Fleurie is grown on granitic sandy soils to around one metre depth, sitting over a granitic subsoil. Granite is the defining feature of the Fleurie terroir, and it shows clearly here. The result is a wine of real depth
Serve it cool, at around 14 to 16°C to let the aromatics open fully. It pairs well with duck, lamb, grilled beef or mushroom dishes.
