- 18 Punkte WEINWISSER: "Purpurrot. Herrliches Bouquet nach reifen schwarzen Johannisbeeren, dahinter Holundersaft, heller Tabak und Lakritze. Am eleganten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, reifem Extrakt und stützendem Tannin, zart aufrauend. Im aromatischen Finale eine Explosion von schwarzen Beeren, Wacholder und Graphitspuren. Der gehört zu den besten Haut-Médocs in diesem Jahr – Gratulation! 2026-2045."

- 92 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „Rock star stuff readers should snatch up, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2019 Château Belle-Vue gives up a gorgeous bouquet of ripe currants, black cherries, tobacco, and cedar pencil. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, elegant Haut-Médoc with velvety tannins, remarkable balance, and a great finish. It's a gorgeous bottle of wine that will keep for over a decade. 2022-2033.“

- 91 Punkte Andreas Larsson, Tasted: “ Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure nose, dark fruity with black currant, cherry, mild toast and mocha notes. A classically dense palate with ripe extract, fine oak integration, fresh acidity gives a good lift to the inky dark fruit and the finish is long and potent.“

Tobacco, dried flowers, mint and dried flowers lend quite a bit of aromatic complexity. This super-expressive Haut-Médoc has quite a bit to offer. 2024-2036."
