2021 'Princesse Lieven' Beaujolais Blanc, Château de Bellevue
"The 2021 Ch. Bellevue 'Princesse Lieven' Beaujolais Blanc is great value and rare, too, being a Chardonnay in a region of reds."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine.
A gorgeous beaujolais blanc, and perfect balance of ripe fruit and freshening, palate-cleansing zest. Notes of pear, pineapple and peach emerge first, followed by an almost creamy character with pastry notes framed by a freshening citrus zip and a hint of mineral salinity.
Tasted this at their Christmas Wine Tasting event. Lovely and fresh, with its tad of oak just rounding it out. The 2022 vintage, tasted elsewhere, was also very good. Beaujolais Blanc is worthy of attention!
