Château Bélair-Monange was created in 2012 after the merge of Châteaux Bélair and Magdelaine. The estate is owned and operated by the influential Moueix family, whose portfolio includes vineyards in Pomerol, Saint-Émilion and Napa Valley. This 2019 vintage is a blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, and it’s dominated by notes of violets, raspberries and preserved cherries. A full-bodied and impactful wine that 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

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

Like Trotanoy, though of course not to the same extent, the 2019 Belair Monange is another of the richer, more powerful wines in the Mouiex portfolio this year. Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, wild berries, vanilla pod, plum preserve, warm spices and cedary new oak, it`s full-bodied, broad and muscular, with a deep and layered core of ripe, sun-kissed fruit that`s framed by lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins. - William Kelley
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

98% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample.Reticent but lifted nose. Very much a dark-fruit aspect. Delicately fine tannins. Refined in temperament and style. Long and linear. Poised and refreshing. Clean, palate-cleansing finish. (JL)
