A word from Cave de France: We discovered Bellevoye Whiskies right at the beginning of their creation and observed the immediate success of this French Whisky, which has, in just a few years, become one of the most emblematic whiskies of the "French touch". Offered with its magnificent case with 50s-inspired lines, Bellevoye ROUGE is moderately peated, and its aging in barrels from classified Bordeaux Grand Crus gives it a beautiful aromatic complexity with a perfectly balanced persistent finish.
A word from Distillerie Les Bienheureux: Primary aging: five to ten years in oak barrels. Secondary aging: six months post-blending in barrels from Bordeaux Grand Crus.
The nose reveals a rich aromatic palette with fruity and fresh notes.
The malt blends with aromas of Ente plums, crème brûlée, and early autumn walnuts.
The palate recalls the generosity of Medjool dates. The presence of mentholated notes preserves the balance. The tannins are enveloped in a sheath of sweetness.
The scent of fine spices and brown sugar accompanies the flavorful finish.
BELLEVOYE is named after a road, not always traced, a path one glimpses, promising the dawn in the distance, an encounter at the crossroads of visions, and a dream-like destination.
This dream, Jean and Alexandre built around their conviction: believing in the strength of their culture and their country: France.
This dream, they solidified with a crazy and audacious gamble, born from a desire to create, to innovate, and to push the boundaries of a horizon that was not wide enough: to produce a great French whisky, with all our know-how, our terroirs, and our raw materials.
This dream, they realized around strong values and the wish to establish a virtuous circle around their whisky, from suppliers to collaborators, through retailers to consumers.
Some stories are told, dreams must be lived, otherwise they are condemned to remain mere witty remarks.
