The 2019 Bélair-Monange is electrifyingly elegant and richly layered. With 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, it reveals aromas of wild berries, violet florals, truffle, licorice, and graphite. The palate delivers concentrated black and red fruits with seamless, powdery tannins and bright mineral freshness. Critics—James Suckling (99 pts), Lisa Perrotti-Brown (98), Jane Anson (97), and Jeb Dunnuck (98)—praise its crystalline purity, energy, and silk-like texture. Drinking window projected from 2028 through 2050—for those seeking both allure now and graceful long-term evolution.
Château Bélair-Monange sits atop the limestone plateau of Saint‑Émilion, neighboring legendary estates like Ausone and Canon. Acquired by the Moueix family in 2008, the property has undergone a modern renaissance, blending tradition with precision. The vineyard—now nearly 23.5 hectares—is planted with exceptionally old Merlot vines (up to 100 years) on clay-limestone soils, producing an expressive, terroir-driven profile renowned for its purity and pedigree.
