2003 CHÂTEAU BELLEVUE Grand Cru Classé Saint Emilion

2003 CHÂTEAU BELLEVUE Grand Cru Classé Saint Emilion

Grapes: Cabernet Franc  Merlot  Cabernet Sauvignon  Origin: France, Bordeaux
Lea & Sandeman review
A wine from an six hectare vineyard owned by Nicholas Thienpont, and vinified by Stéphane Dérenoncourt. Rich, good texture, a little solid this year? - should turn out well.

Other reviews and comments
Mid crimson. Oaky nose - very obvious! Leathery quality. Sweet and a bit sickly. Chocolate powder. Certainly not sophisticated. 2008-2013   15.5

Totally ribena (ie intense sweet blackcurrant) on the nose, then a little spice. Very soft and juicy and simple. 2007-2011   15
Julia Harding, www.JancisRobinson.com
This 15+ acre estate, situated on a south/southwest-facing slope, has been making sensational wines since 2000, when the management of the vineyard and winemaking were taken over by Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt. The 40-year-old, bio-dynamically farmed vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The 2003 possesses superb ripeness as well as a stony, mineral liqueur-like intensity, a reticent but promising perfume of black raspberries, sweet kirsch, and blacker fruits, a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated attack and mid-palate, and a blockbuster, long, powerful, moderately tannic finish. It is an infant in terms of development. No doubt this site’s clay and limestone soils were the perfect antidote for the summer’s torrid heat and drought. This superb effort should only be purchased by patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2025+   93+
