Although very famous in the nineteenth century (vineyards adjoin those of Ch. Cantemerle), Belle-Vue no longer existed since 1936. Restored in 1996, Belle-Vue is a rising star of southern Medoc. Happy marriage between a high proportion (20%), Petit Verdot, for an explosive fruity, and careful breeding. Mrs. Mulliez implementation continues with the work of her late husband (too young) in 2010.

Revue du Vin de France :
Dupont (Le Point) :
Quarin : 89/100 « Caressant dès l’attaque et immédiatement fondant en milieu de bouche, le vin se développe parfumé à la façon des vins de Margaux. Il évolue savoureux, vers une finale sèveuse et longue. C’est très agréable et très bon. Un Outsider du millésime. »
Galloni (Vinous) : 89-91/100 « The 2019 Belle-Vue is a powerful, burly wine. [...] Hearty and dense, Belle-Vue is an ideal wine for the dinner table. It is perhaps a bit rambunctious and uncontrolled in its enthusiasm, and yet there is a certain beauty to that, as well. »
Martin (Vinous) : 84-86/100 « The palate has modest density and weight, fine acidity but I find the finish rather simplistic at the moment. »
