Product Notes

Château Bélair-Monange Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé wine is crafted impeccably from an esteemed Saint-Émilion vineyard in Bordeaux, France. Esteemed for its intricate blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this distinguished wine exhibits a dense, deep colour with rich red fruits, balanced minerality, and subtle hints of spices. Its velvety texture and indulgent depths create a beautifully complex palate. Aged skilfully in oak barrels, it imparts refined woody notes, enhancing its exceptional character and depth. Perfect for sipping alongside robust dishes, it's a sophisticated celebration of tradition, exuding eloquent refinement across vintages.

Tasting Notes

Complex and engaging, aromas of wild cherries, tayberry and açaí are interspersed with deep mulberry and mineral notes of crushed crocks and graphite. The palate is awash with glorious fruit: plums, raspberries and cranberries. This is delicate and detailed yet there is tremendous power and complexity. Layer after layer of fruit reveals itself in a real peacock's tail of fruit covering the lacy tannins. Vibrant, long and a delight to the senses!
