Omschrijving
Ontdek Château Bélair-Monange, een juweel in de kroon van Saint-Émilion. Dit prestigieuze wijndomein, dat zijn oorsprong vindt in de 17e eeuw, is bekend om zijn exceptionele ligging aan de top van het kalksteenplateau met uitzicht op de Dordogne vallei. Sinds 2008 in handen van de familie Moueix, die het domein hernoemde ter ere van Anne-Adèle Monange, belichaamt Château Bélair-Monange een perfecte symbiose van traditie en vooruitstrevende wijnbouw. Met uitbreidingen vanuit het aangrenzende Château Magdelaine en een grondige renovatie van zowel wijngaard als faciliteiten, blijft Château Bélair-Monange toonaangevend in het produceren van topwijnen. De wijngaarden zijn voornamelijk beplant met Merlot (80%) en Cabernet Franc (20%), wat resulteert in wijnen van diepe complexiteit en elegante structuur. Laat u meeslepen door de tijdloze charme van dit vooraanstaande wijnhuis, waar geschiedenis en innovatie hand in hand gaan. De familie Moueix tilt Château Bélair-Monange met zekerheid naar de top van Saint-Émilion. Hun eerdere triomfen met gerenommeerde domeinen zoals Lafleur-Petrus en Hosanna in Pomerol garanderen hun succes.

Robert Parker
The 2023 Belair Monange is the first vintage from this newly created property that incorporates a balance of fruit from the plateau and fruit from the hillsides, as restructured and replanted parcels are returning to production. Wafting from the glass with attractive aromas of raspberries, violets and kirsch mingled with hints of incense, licorice and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a deep and textural core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins, retaining a cool, ethereal profile that foregrounds its limestone origins.

The 2023 Bélair-Monange was picked September 11 to 29 at around 45hL/ha. It has a very intense, very well-defined bouquet: black cherries, mulberry and light iodine mixed with estuarine scents—scintillas of kelp and oyster shell in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very fresh and animated. Focused and mineral-driven, the 2023 has one of the most refined finishes that you'll find on the Right Bank this year. This is a very strong follow-up to the 2022 and it may even surpass it, though this is cut from a very different cloth insofar that it is unapologetically more classic in style.

There’s finesse and beauty to this, with blackberry, dark-chocolate, bark, mushroom and forest-floor character. But it’s all class. Caresses your palate. Medium- to full-bodied and very long. Persistent and sophisticated. This shows the true character of the diverse vineyards of this estate.

A fabulous showing for Bélair this year. Great aromatics, subtle not shouting, not too ripe, definitely more cool and fresh. Smooth and supple, a gorgeous weight and balance in the mouth. Crisp and fresh but creamy and fleshy too. Delicious, minty, racy and chiselled, lots of power but so well balanced, charming and sophisticated. Still lots of mint and tension on the finish with orange, bitter grapefruit, slate and graphite but wow this is amazing. The tannins are perfection, the juicy strawberry, cherry core together with a filling overall weight and texture and long length is excellent. Great stuff and really focussed on drinkability. You could drink this today but equally it will age very well. Fun and friendly, controlled and stylish. Lots of oak but this will settle after ageing (14 months in 50% new oak).
