Château Bel Air-Monange Saint Emilion 1gcc. 2017 0,75l
Château Bélair-Monange occupies one of the highest points of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau and combines vineyards on the plateau, slopes and terraces. The vines, mostly Merlot with a share of Cabernet Franc, grow in limestone and blue clay over limestone, bringing freshness, minerality and impressive depth to the wine. Each plot is vinified separately before ageing in French oak barrels. The bouquet opens with ripe dark fruit, plum and blackberry, joined by floral nuances, sweet spice and a touch of graphite. On the palate Bélair-Monange is concentrated yet silky, with powerful but polished tannins and a very long, focused, mineral finish that expresses its exceptional terroir.
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....
The Great Vertical Tasting: A wine through the mirror of time.
Anyone who compares wine across several vintages discovers its development in a particularly impressive way. A vertical tasting reveals how style, maturity, structure and aromas change over time – and helps to find the right vintage for personal taste or a special occasion.
The grape variety: Merlot
Merlot is a famous red grape known for plum, black cherry, soft tannins and a smooth, rounded palate. It is central to Bordeaux and widely planted worldwide.
Its approachable structure makes it excellent with roast meats, mushrooms, tomato pasta, burgers, lamb and mild cheeses.
