Château Bélair-Monange was created in 2008 by the illustrious Moueix family from the amalgamation of the historic Saint-Émilion vineyards of Châteaux Bélair and Magdelaine. The 2017 release is an utterly spell-binding wine composed of 98% Merlot with just a 2% seasoning of Cabernet Franc. It leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of plum, black cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, exotic spices and tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied and silky textured, this is an incredibly seductive wine with remarkable levity and excellent length. Dangerously drinkable already but the best will be revealed after a period of cellaring.
The 2017 Bélair-Monange was so impressive out of barrel and now in bottle, I see no reason to alter my appreciation. It has a very intense bouquet, one that is reassuringly complex, especially in context of what was a rather ordinary growing season with copious red cherries, boysenberry, hints of iodine and a light terracotta scent. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are surprisingly rigid at the moment, suggesting that this will be a long term Saint-Émilion. There is a beguiling sense of symmetry, very mineral-driven towards the finish that has impressive sapidity. This comes highly recommended although it deserves five or six years in bottle. Bravo Christian and Edouard Moueix. - Neil Martin
