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

Château Bellevue is unusual in that it grows grapes, ferments and distills its wine, and matures its own Cognacs – most growers in the region supply grapes or base wine to the larger Cognac houses. The 108-hectare estate is bordered by six kilometres of stone walls and surrounds an 18th-century Château. The 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.
