Château Bélair-Monange was created by the legendary Moueix family from the fusion of the historic Saint-Émilion vineyards of Châteaux Bélair and Magdelaine. The inaugural 2008 release is dense and deeply aromatic with superb interplay between sweet black fruit, dried flowers and crushed rock minerality. It is a superb wine of brilliant natural intensity, texture and length.

The 2008 Bélair-Monange was the first vintage where Christian Moueix had total control of the vineyard after his acquisition of the historic property. It has a crisp red cherry and crushed strawberry nose that perhaps needs more intensity. It feels airy, almost Burgundian in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple, quite fleshy opening. There is good body here, belying the structure underneath although I discerned a touch of greenness on the finish. Moueix’s tenure has produced better Belair’s than the 2008 and I would consume bottles over the next four to five years. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.)Neal Martin1st February 2018
