Comment

When the Reclus family settled at Château Pichon Bellevue in 1880, they cultivated only 2 hectares of land in mixed farming. Since then the estate has continued to evolve: previously the sale of wine was done in barrels on the Place de Bordeaux, then came the first bottling at the Château in 1982. Today, Laurent naturally continues his parents' work , Christiane and Daniel Reclus, paying particular attention to caring for the 50 hectares of vines in accordance with tradition and family values, while bringing a touch of modernity. His work philosophy has always been focused on preventive rather than curative reasoning, which makes it possible to apply rational agriculture based on constant monitoring of rainfall.

Tasting

It is with a strong color, a ruby ​​color with purple reflections, aromas of black fruits, blackberry, prune, that this vintage reveals itself when tasting with a supple attack, a silky tannic evolution, in the middle from which we find notes of fresh leather and sweet almond, with a tender and warm finish, a fine wine, perfectly balanced.
