Acquired by Vincent Mulliez in 2004, along with the Châteaux Belle-Vue and Gironville, Château Belle-Vue comes from an exceptional terroir whose history merges with that of Bordeaux wines. Since the untimely death of Vincent Mulliez in 2010, his wife Isabelle took over the management of the property, pursuing with determination the work initiated by her husband. This rigorous and enterprising man had managed in a few years to impose his 3 properties, Belle-Vue, Gironville and Bolaire among the best values ??of the Medoc.
The Château Bolaire vineyard is made up of 5.3 hectares of which the grape variety is 39% Petit Verdot, 34% Merlot and 27% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is very unusual to find as many Petit Verdot in the composition of a wine, which makes it unique. The average age of the vines is 45 years old.
