Chateau Belair-Monange

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2030-2060

The vineyards of Bélair-Monange now occupy some of the choicest plots of the appellation. One third lie on the limestone plateau, near the historic town of Saint-Emilion, one third are on adjoining, south-facing, steep hillsides, with the balance being on terraces between the two. The property was bought by the Moueix family in 2008, and they then made big investments, shoring up the land. Beneath the vines lie ancient galleries in the limestone, which were stone quarries, for many centuries – but some were unstable. Above ground, many plots needed re-planting, which has been slowly taking place. Today, only wine from fully mature plots and the best sites is chosen for the Grand Vin.

Neal Martin

The 2022 Belair-Monange comes across just a little smudged on the nose, black plum and a touch of sloes, hints of blood orange in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, good backbone and real depth with cracked black pepper towards the finish. Maybe it does not quite deliver the personality of its peers, but there is substance and intent. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Tasted blind. Oaky-sweet. A bit hard work and pinched on the end. Grating drying tannins but no shortage of volume or fruit. (JR)
