The 2020 Château Janoy Bellevue Bordeaux Rouge is a classic Bordeaux Supérieur from the Entre-Deux-Mers region, crafted by the Chevillard family. A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine is fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit character and approachable style. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry layered with soft spice, cedar and a touch of white pepper.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple tannins, bright acidity and a generous core of ripe dark fruit. Flavours of blueberry, cherry and plum are complemented by subtle savoury notes and gentle spice, leading to a smooth, balanced finish. Fresh, fruit-forward and easy to enjoy, this is an excellent everyday Bordeaux that offers outstanding value while remaining true to its regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2020 Château Janoy Bellevue Bordeaux Rouge pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef burgers, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or a charcuterie board. Enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit, soft tannins and balanced structure are at their best.
