Begins with a salt lick and kick of mandarin peel that places you on the limestone plateau, then things soften and widen through the mid palate, showing gunsmoke and a slowbuild of raspberry, redcurrant and red cherry fruits - still on the cool and savoury side, staying true to the vintage, but with delicious finesse and juiciness. A real success, delivering on En Primeur promise. Harvest September 28 and October 2. An upscore.Jane Anson26th March 2024
95 The Wine Independent
A blend of 99% Merlot with 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Belair-Monange is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. After a little swirling, evocative scents of violets, star anise, and cloves emerge from the glass, leading to a core of raspberry coulis, black cherry preserves, and juicy plums, plus a touch of fertile loam. The medium-bodied palate is plush and spicy, with delightfully pure red and black berry layers, and a refreshing lift to the finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown23rd April 2024
93 Robert Parker
The ethereal 2021 Belair Monange shows its limestone terroir front and center in this cooler vintage, unwinding in the glass with notes of sweet cherries, minty red berries, raw cocoa and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, suave and polished palate that`s pure, lively and mineral, concluding with a saline finish. - William Kelley

The 2021 Bélair-Monange has turned out to be a relatively lightweight wine for this property. The floral bouquet is quite promising, but in the end, the 2021 lacks mid-palate depth, while the finish is both slender and short. I expected more. Antonio Galloni27th February 2024

99% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample.Open and aromatic but with drive and definition on the palate. Fine tannins and freshness, the fruit and structure in balance. Gentle hand in extraction so more on elegance than power. (JL)
