2022 Chateau Bellefont-Belcier Grand Cru Classe, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 6x75cl

Chateau Bellefont-Belcier

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 91

Drink To: 2030-2048

Taking its name from the words “Belle Fontaine” or “beautiful fountain”, Château Bellefont-Belcier references the many hidden hillside springs of which the vines plunge their roots. Whilst it has undertaken different ownerships over the years, this repeated change in direction has not affected the integrity of the wine. Typical of Saint-Émilion, Château Bellefont-Belcier comprises a majority Merlot blend, averaging 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A sensual character, Bellefont Belcier’s smooth polished tannins mingle with flavours of ripe red berries and hints of liquorice which leaves you pining after the next sip.

Neal Martin

Despite swirling for several minutes, the 2022 Bellefont-Belcier was difficult to coax from the glass. There are light black cherry fruit aromas, but it feels a bit static. The palate is medium-bodied with much more promise, with black cherries, raspberry and dark chocolate notes. The finish is grainy, with more freshness on the second and third bottles. Variances between samples compels me to be prudent with my score, but there is a tangible difference in quality between this and its high-performing neighbor, Larcis-Ducasse.
