Château de Bellevue
Château de Bellevue sits in Lussac-Saint-Émilion, the northernmost satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's Right Bank. The estate works across distinct terroirs and grape varieties. Its Lussac-Saint-Émilion, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, expresses the region's signature structure and dark fruit character. The winery also produces Climat Montgenas Fleurie from Gamay Noir and Andre Chatenoud Sauvignon Gris, demonstrating range beyond the traditional Bordeaux framework. Prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have assessed the portfolio, with the Climat Montgenas and Lussac bottlings earning particular recognition. The diversity of the lineup—from Sauvignon Gris's mineral precision to Gamay's bright acidity to the Merlot-Cabernet Franc blend's depth—reflects both the estate's ambition and the varied potential of its terroir.
