Belair-Monange 2015 is a Right Bank Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Émilion appellation. This wine is predominantly Merlot, enriched by a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. It displays a deep ruby colour and offers aromas of dark fruits, chocolate and earthy notes. The palate is full-bodied with structured tannins, providing an intense yet elegant experience. The vineyard is renowned for its exceptional terroir, characterised by a mix of limestone and clay soils that contribute to the wine`s complexity. The estate, owned by Château Angélus, is noted for its commitment to biodynamic practices and sustainable viticulture.

This perhaps somewhat controversial marriage between the estates of Chateau Belair and Chateau Magdelaine—both Premier Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion estates—to form Chateau Bélair Monange hits pay-dirt with this spectacular 2015 release. Composed of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Belair Monange has the most singular nose of grilled meats, smoked game, iron ore and fallen leaves over a slowly unfurling ripe fruit core of crushed black plums, blackberry preserves and cassis with fragrant touches of star anise and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, the palate reveals an arresting backbone of exquisitely ripe, very firm tannins and sparks of background acidity lifting and defining the rich, densely packed layers, culminating in an epically long and multifaceted finish. Possessing its own compellingly beautiful signature, this is a remarkably riveting wine that should not be missed. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2015 Bélair-Monange has an intriguing bouquet with red plum, mocha, leather and antique bureau aromas. This is not as immediate or as generous as its peers, yet it is imbued with a compelling complexity. The palate is very well balanced with fine mineralité that seems to have bubbled up to the surface in recent years, lending the finish impressive tension and subtle pepperiness that lingers tenderly in the mouth. Recommended. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. Neal Martin3rd June 2025

Chalky tannins, crushed rose petal aromatics, graphite, saffron, gunsmoke, raspberry and redcurrant, a ton of grip and character. Perhaps not quite the soaring precision you find in this estate today, but hard to argue with and plenty to love. Christian and Edouard Moueix owners.Jane Anson19th February 2025
