Château Bel Air-Monange
Above the Dordogne valley in Saint‑Émilion, Château Bélair‑Monange sits beside the village on the limestone plateau, a Premier Grand Cru Classé defined by elevation and calcareous soils. The setting favours natural freshness and a firm, linear build rather than sheer weight.
Since its renewal under the Moueix family, work is rigorously parcel-based: hand harvesting, meticulous sorting and separate vinifications to respect each block. Fermentation, maceration and extraction are adjusted to the season, aiming for polished tannins and precision of texture.
Élevage in French oak, complemented by time on lees, is used to integrate structure without masking place. Bélair‑Monange reads as classic Saint‑Émilion: deep and composed, with quiet intensity, length and a terroir-first sense of proportion.Château Bel Air-Monange
