An extraordinarily rich and powerful wine with honey, dried apricot and exotic fruit flavours. As the wine ages, it develops aromas of crystallized fruits, ripe strawberries and quince.
The haut de gamme at Domaine Bellegarde is the 'Sélection DB' made in superior vintages from draconian yields of grapes that are harvested as late as possible. It is a golden-coloured, multi-faceted wine of incredible complexity that is best drunk in quiet contemplation. It is utterly delicious from bottling but will mellow and darken with age and keep well for at least 20 years.
