The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (Neal Martin - February 2020): 89/100 “The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, quite Malbec-like in many ways with a smoky, slightly meaty finish that offers fine freshness and good length. Very fine for a pure Petit Verdot.” fine freshness and good length. Very fine for a pure Petit Verdot."

Although very famous in the nineteenth century (vineyards adjoin those of Ch. Cantemerle), Belle-Vue no longer existed since 1936. Restored in 1996, Belle-Vue is a rising star of southern Medoc. Happy marriage between a high proportion (20%), Petit Verdot for an explosive fruity, and careful breeding. Radical change of direction in 2021 following the purchase by Penfold, an Australian group that is a global wine giant (already acquiring the neighboring property Cambon La Pelouse in 2019).
