The 2012 Château Bélair-Monange is a red wine from Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, made predominantly from Merlot with a smaller percentage of Cabernet Franc. It`s the first vintage of this wine under its new name, following the acquisition of Château Bélair by the Moueix family of Pétrus fame and its merger with Château Magdelaine. The vineyards are situated on the Saint-Émilion plateau, noted for their unique asteria limestone soil. The 2012 vintage offers a lovely freshness and aromatic character. This wine presents elegant profile of dark berry fruit and a hint of forest floor. It has a full-bodied palate with a firm, well-integrated tannic structure and a very long finish. The wine has a great capacity for ageing and is considered to be one of the finest expressions of Saint-Émilion from the 2012 vintage.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Belair-Monange shows evolved notes of cigar box, sauteed herbs, and spice box giving way to a core of dried figs and plum pudding scents, plus a touch of graphite. The full-bodied palate offers appealing freshness with elegant fruit and a lively backbone, finishing long and perfumed.Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023

The 2012 Bélair-Monange has a detailed and quite intense bouquet with black truffle and singed leather on the nose, complex and refined, gaining personality with time. Just a hint of antique bureau in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity that lends tension. Touches of sour cherry and dried orange peel emerge towards the end of this pretty 2012. Worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting. Neal Martin27th September 2022
