Intro to Chateau de Bel Echappee Bel Rouge Bordeaux –
Chateau de Bel Echappee Bel Rouge from Bordeaux is vibrant red organic and biodynamic wine that is very soft and appealing.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Chateau de Bel Echappee Bel Rouge Bordeaux is made from 100% Merlot from a 5.5-hectare vineyard planted on silty-clay soils with some gravel. It is an organic red wine. The fermentation is short, just one week and maceration is also just of one week in length and it is then aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve a fruity, fresh style.
It is an intense garnet red in colour with vibrant aromas of cherry and freshly picked raspberries, and this very pretty fruit note continues to palate which is soft and round and very approachable.
The producer –
The most radical producer in Bordeaux? Undoubtedly Château de Bel is the antithesis to what we’ve come to expect from this most traditional of French regions. After creating one of the first e-commerce wine businesses, winemaker Olivier Cazenave (right) and his wife Anne discovered the property in 2003, in the community of Arveyres on the banks of the Dordogne.
They have since expanded the rather dilapidated vineyards to eight hectares, as well as taken on farming those of friends and family elsewhere in Bordeaux, with one-third of a hectare in Pomerol and two hectares in Montagne Saint-Émilion. Since 2016, all the vineyards are certified biodynamic and mostly planted to Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with some Malbec and Chenin Blanc. Olivier even wants to plant Riesling here one day. Wines are variously classical, experimental, natural and at times controversial.
All beautifully, purely made, as Olivier says, with “humility and common sense”.
