"Bellevue" is the flagship wine of Domaine de Valmoissine, crafted from a selection of the estate’s finest vineyards. Here, the grapes benefit from exceptional sunlight, thanks to the steep slopes of this hilltop village, overlooking the estate’s vineyards. The complex clay-limestone, iron-rich subsoil, combined with the altitude, exposure, and Mediterranean air, produces a perfectly balanced wine of great intensity.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is primarily associated with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns the bulk of its vineyards, culminating in a magnificent vineyard on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of the Latour family, chairs the family board and has complete confidence in his exceptional winemakers. The reds have undergone extended fermentation, giving them more body and substance; the whites are less reductive and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant pursuit of balance that sometimes leads to them being underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. The 2017 vintage follows in the successful footsteps of the 2010 and 2015 vintages for both reds and whites, but we would place more confidence in the wines from the estate’s own vineyards than in certain purchased wines—especially the whites, which are too diluted.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A family-owned estate that has always remained independent, founded in 1797 and run by 10 successive generations of the Latour family. A key player in Burgundy’s wine industry and the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte-d’Or (28 hectares out of the 48 that make up its vineyard). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family’s birthplace, and the estate has its own cooperage.

Review by Mr. FABRICE P. Published on April 22, 2021
A rather unremarkable Pinot Noir: pale in color, with a lackluster nose and a slight taste of grenadine on the palate. Even the Alsatians do much better! ;)
