Cognac Chateau Bellevue Vieille Reserve No. 1 AOC Cognac, #

Château Bellevue is a single estate at Virollet that grows its grapes, ferments and distils its own wine and ages its own Cognacs. Most growers in the Cognac region supply grapes or base wine to the larger Cognac houses for distillation. The 108-hectare estate lies around the 18th century château, bordered by six kilometres of stone walls. The old Reserve No 1 was matured for over 50 years in Château Bellevue’s underground barrel cellar. Amber in colour, it has mellow caramel and orange fruit aromas with vanilla, toffee and oak. This complex and incredibly smooth Cognac was produced from Folle Blanche, Montils and Colombard grapes, all organically grown on the estate.
