Owned and operated by the influential Moueix family, Château Bélair-Monange was created in 2012 after consolidating the vineyards of Châteaux Bélair and Magdelaine. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc from 25-year-old vines. It is dominated by notes of violets, raspberries and preserved cherries. Full-bodied and impactful, the wine will definitely blossom in five years’ time.
98 The Wine Independent
The 2019 Belair-Monange is made from 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a lot of coaxing to unleash aromas of baked black plums, blackberry compote, and dark chocolate, leading to suggestions of lavender, crushed rocks, and black truffles. The full-bodied palate is full-on hedonic, delivering a refreshing backbone and grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st May 2023
97 Jane Anson
Such a lesson in limestone terroir with its precision, knife-spliced and restrained violet flowers, raspberry and redcurrant fruits. You need to chisel through the austerity to get to the creamy, fleshy side of these fruits but it is very definitely there. So good, enjoy, take your time, give 6 to 8 years to fully let that creamy raspberry puree and deeper black cherry side come out to join saffron, sage and slate minerality. Love it. Harvest September 19 to October 3. 50% new oak.Jane Anson26th January 2022
94 Vinous
The 2019 Bélair-Monange has a more tertiary nose, backward and broody, almost Left Bank in style. This demands much more coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly chocolaty opening. The oak a little too thick maybe? Plenty of fruit behind it, quite plush on the finish, but missing the intellect that previous bottles have displayed. Maybe entering an awkward adolescence? Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
