CHÂTEAU DE BELLEVUE
SOIL: This Beaujolais terroir, located in the western part of the appellation at an altitude between 350 and 400 metres, stretches across gently sloping hillsides facing southwest.
Late-ripening and cool, it gives the wines a lovely tension. The fluvio-glacial soil, composed of clay and large sandstone blocks, provides structure and complexity.VINIFICATION & AGEING:
The grapes, harvested at perfect ripeness, undergo double sorting: once in the vineyard, and again at the winery.
The fruit is destemmed and transferred by gravity, with no added SO₂.
A traditional fermentation lasts 10 to 12 days, with the use of submerged cap fermentation and gentle pump-overs to ensure a soft extraction.
Ageing takes place in concrete and stainless-steel vats for 9 to 10 months. -
