What it pairs with

  • Braised veal cheeks with root vegetables
    Old-vine concentration suits slow-braised veal with earthy accompaniments.
  • Aged Beaufort cheese
    The wine's mineral density works well with firm Alpine cheese.
  • Cassoulet
    Duck, pork and white bean cassoulet is a classic Occitan match for structured Gamay.

History

The Bellevue selection draws from Bouland's oldest Morgon vines on a well-exposed hillside parcel. Greater concentration and ageing potential than the Delys cuvee.
