Château de Bellevue Fleurie 2016

The 2016 Fleurie from the Château de Bellevue is showing well, wafting from the glass with a pretty bouquet of red cherries, raspberries and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with powdery tannins that display none of the asperity that’s so often the signature of this hail-impacted vintage.
