Fermentation uses indigenous yeasts at low temperatures, with weekly bâtonnage, and the wine is aged about 14 months in large ovoid\/foeder vessels (and in some descriptions a mix of foudres, amphorae and oak), whose porosity gently oxygenates the wine; it is bottled unfiltered with very little SO₂.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"tasting-profile\"\u003eTasting profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eNotes for the 2023 vintage describe a bright lemon‑yellow color. The nose combines pear, golden apple and citrus with white flowers, smoke, sea‑spray salinity and a subtle nutty, umami note from the Savagnin and long lees contact. On the palate it is full‑bodied and rounded yet vibrant, showing ripe orchard fruit and lemon, creamy texture, spine‑tingling acidity, striking minerality and a long, mouth‑watering, particularly saline finish.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"character-and-food-pairing\"\u003eCharacter and food pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eCommentators emphasize the cuvée’s intensity, purity and almost Burgundy‑like dimension, with a salty, savory length that makes it very gastronomic. It pairs especially well with sole meunière, other buttery white‑fish dishes, shellfish, roasted poultry and rich vegetable dishes where its combination of richness, freshness and salinity can shine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de Belle Vue","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (750 ml)","offer_id":45957595693229,"sku":"23-BELLV-20601RW","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/8829\/8669\/files\/BretaudeauDomainedeBellevue_LaJustice_2023.jpg?v=1777404352","url":"https:\/\/symbolicwines.com\/products\/bretaudeau-domaine-de-bellevue-la-justice-2023","provider":"Symbolic Wines®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
