Château Bellevue Morgon "Côte du Py" 2022
Opaque ruby-purple.Full-bodied and dense. Layers of blueberry liqueur, black cherry, and plum wrapped around a core of wet granite minerality. Ripe, muscular tannins provide grip. Moderate acidity balances the richness. Long finish of fruit, iron, and stony depth.
Drinkable Now. Decant 2-3 hours, best with rich foods. Prime window is 2026–2038+ (peaks 2028-2035). Cellaring unlocks truffle, game, and forest-floor complexity while softening tannins.
Food Pairing:
Braised short ribs, duck confit, wild mushroom risotto, venison stew, or aged Comté cheese.
About Château Bellevue
Considered one of Morgon's top domaines, producing benchmark wines for the appellation, especially from Le Py and Grand Cras. Owns 15 hectares spread across exceptional Morgon climats: Le Py, Grand Cras, Les Charmes, Corcelette, Douby, and Delys. They hold prime parcels on the famed blue-tinged, iron-rich decomposed granite ("rotten rock" - roche pourrie) and schist soils that define Morgon's power.
Style: Produces structured, deeply colored, age-worthy Morgon known for intensity, minerality, and complexity. Far removed from simple Beaujolais Nouveau, these are serious wines showcasing the unique power of Morgon's terroir, balancing ripe Gamay fruit with granite/schist-derived structure and earthy notes. They need time to unfurl.
