"Bellevue" is the flagship wine of Domaine de Valmoissine, made from a selection of the best plots. The grapes here benefit from exceptional sunshine, thanks to the steep slopes of this hilltop village overlooking the estate's vineyards. The complex clay-limestone, ferruginous subsoil, combined with the altitude, exposure, and Mediterranean air, produce a perfectly balanced wine of great intensity.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is mainly linked to the Côte de Beaune, where it owns most of its vineyards, with a sumptuous location on the famous Corton hillside as its highlight. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of Latours, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have undergone longer fermentation, giving them more body and substance, while the whites are less reduced and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant search for balance that sometimes leads them to be underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. 2017 is in line with the success of 2010 and 2015 for both colors, but we would place more trust in the cuvées from the estate's own vines than in certain purchases, especially the whites, which are too diluted.

Review and opinion by Mr. FABRICE P. Published on 04/22/2021
Pinot Noir without much interest, light color, not very expressive nose, and a slight grenadine taste on the palate. Even Alsatians do much better! ;)
