Château Bélair-Monange was created in 2008 by the illustrious Moueix family from the amalgamation of the historic Saint-Émilion vineyards of Châteaux Bélair and Magdelaine. The 2017 release is an utterly spell-binding wine composed of 98% Merlot with just a 2% seasoning of Cabernet Franc. It leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of plum, black cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, exotic spices and tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied and silky textured, this is an incredibly seductive wine with remarkable levity and excellent length. Dangerously drinkable already but the best will be revealed after a period of cellaring.
98 Jancis Robinson
Made of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Belair Monange is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. With a little swirling, this baby comes bounding out of the glass with energetic notes of wild blueberries, Morello cherries, baked plums and black raspberries with wafts of Indian spices, lavender, garrigue and tobacco plus a hint of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the black and blue fruit dance playfully on the palate with fantastic freshness to lift the bold flavors and a superb frame of ripe, velvety tannins. It finishes very long and with amazing zing. So tempting to drink now, but make no mistake—this is one for the long haul!Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th March 2020
96 Vinous
The 2017 Bélair-Monange is ripe and explosive in the glass, with tremendous fruit density and a real sense of power. Exotic spice, mocha, sweet pipe tobacco, cinnamon and floral notes add layers of nuance to a core of super-ripe dark red and purplish fruit in this sumptuous, flamboyantly ripe Saint-Émilion. Soft curves give the 2017 tons of immediacy, but there is also more than enough freshness and structure to support many years in the cellar.Antonio Galloni1st March 2020
