Echappée Bel Rouge //​ Château de Bel

Intense garnet colour with notes of cherries and fresh raspberries. Fruity, round and very easy to drink. Echappée - meaning an 'escape', such as a romantic getaway, or in cycling a 'breakaway' - is Olivier's multi-vintage house blend, the red version a mixture of a few recent vintages of Merlot from the biodynamic vineyards of Château de Bel. Olivier makes his wines non-vintage partly to create a reliable house style (as in Champagne), partly to distance the wines from what can sometimes be an unhealthy obsession with this or that vintage in Bordeaux.

Winemaker

Olivier Cazenave

Farming

Certified biodynamic.

Region

Bordeaux

Vineyard

The vines are planted on clay-silty soils close to the Dordogne river.

Grapes

Merlot

Winemaking

Natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and primary fruit flavours, like cherries and fresh raspberries.
