      Detailed Description

      A core of sweetness shows through this wine. It has juicy acidity shining prominently—it shows its fresh side immediately. Bélair-Monange is still a work in progress, although this will always be a delicious wine.

      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: This extraordinary terroir, now exploited by Edouard Moueix, the son of Christian, seems to be coming to life in a dramatic fashion. Never a hedonistic wine, but very intellectual, the 2009 suggests a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with black currants and black cherries. Still somewhat closed, medium to full-bodied, and impressive rather than seductive, this is a structured wine that needs to be forgotten for at least a decade, and then drunk over the following 30+ years.
      • James Suckling: Love the soft and velvety tannin with the milk chocolate and fruit character. Full and silky. Long and delicious. So fine. Best wine from this estate in decades.

                                              Château Bélair-Monange is a Bordeaux winery and vineyard rated as a Grand Cru Classé B in the classification of Saint-Émilion estates. It makes red wine based on Merlot with a subsidiary component of Cabernet Franc. It was known as Château Bélair (Dubois-Challon) until the 2008 vintage. The vineyard is located just outside Saint-Émilion village. Since the 2012 merger with Châtea Magdeleine (see below) it covers 23.5 hectares. 2014 saw the debut of the second wine, Annonce de Bélair-Monange. The third wine is Haut Roc Blanquant (Grand Cru). The estate was formed in the 14th Century, on land cultivated by the Romans. Wine production didn't begin on the property until the 1700s. In 1850 Beéair was rated as the leading wine of Saint-Émilion in the authoritative Cocks et Ferret guide. It held this status well into the 20th century. It is a close neighbor of the Grand Cru Classé A Château Ausone and was owned by the same family for much of the 20th Century, even sharing Ausone's cellars. The family name Dubois-Challon, though not an integral part of the property title, was used to distinguish the estate from numerous other Bélairs in Bordeaux. It was managed for a time by Pascal Delbeck, who had been the head winemaker at Ausone but, in 2003, he began selling shares to the Moueix family's négociant business Éstablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix. By 2008, the Mouiex family was in complete control and the name was changed to Bélair-Monange. Anne-Adèle Monange is the mother of Jean-Pierre Moueix, grandmother of Christian, and great-grandmother of Edouard, who now runs the property. In 1931 Adèle was the first woman from the family to settle in Saint-Émilion. In the later 20th century the estate had fallen into a comparitive state of neglect, considering its former reputation. With a new team in charge the wine saw a marked upturn in quality. Vineyard selection was made stricter, yields were lowered and the grapes were picked later.
