Chateau Laplagnotte-Bellevue

Château Laplagnotte-Bellevue is a delightful Bordeaux wine that exhibits a rich, fruity flavor with a deep plum and ruby hue. The blend of Merlot used in this wine results in an aroma that is heady with notes of raspberry, black cherry, and plum. The fragrance is further enhanced by the scents of graphite, cedar, tobacco, and vanilla.

This wine is fruit-driven and has a medium body with soft, silky tannins, making it easily accessible to consumers. The Château Laplagnotte-Bellevue is a good pairing with beef and lamb dishes, as its fleshy mouthfeel and well-structured tight tannins balance out the bold flavors of these meats.
