2011 Château Belair-Monange, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2011 Château Belair-Monange, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

With vines over a hundred years old planted on the famous plateau and the perfectly south-east facing slopes next to Ausone, this property is something of an undiscovered gem. Attractively ripe and juicy berry fruit, counterbalanced by a vein of fresh acidity and perfectly balanced tannins. There is presence and weight to the wine, which is unforced and elegant.

Tasting notes

Tasted blind. Evolved colour. Ruby/rusty rim. Sweet, buttery nose and flatteringly sweet palate. Not the freshest fruit but certainly ripe enough, even if a bit extracted. Neat and lightly minty.
