Chateau Bellevue is one of the oldest in the region Bligh. For eight generations the family owns Saburen. The vineyard is located in the Chateau Plassak, on the highest part of the ridge, facing south, on the right bank of the Gironde, 45 km north of Bordeaux. Fine wines Chateau Bellevue created in homage to the traditions and rules of Bordeaux, in accordance with strict quality criteria. Vineyard Chateau Bellevue is located on a sunny slope with light clay-gravelly soil that is ideal for the cultivation of grapes and provides uniform ripening. Established in accordance with the tradition, but with the use of modern equipment, the wine is partially aged for 12 months (partly in French oak barrels). They can be enjoyed now, but it is better to gain a bit of patience and taste this wine at its peak, five or six years.
