Took a long time to really open up. Good once there. Lots of sediment. — 11 years ago
If only I could drink this every day. Makes me want to throw out half of my collection. Excellent wine. — 11 years ago
Pulled this from my private collection to enjoy with a little Brie and crackers. Excellent flavor! Love the subtle tones on the pallet.

I was lucky to have had dinner with François Thienpont earlier this spring, and to taste several vintages of VCC. Bellevue is managed by his brother, Nicolas and Stephane Derenoncourt. Bellevue is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cab Franc. The 2000 offers up a bouquet of spring flowers, lavender, black currants, and minerals. Finely-hewn, with well-integrated tannins, and notes of leather, black fruit and graphite. It's just now entering its prime drinking window, with plenty of acidity to carry it forward. — 11 years ago
