Aromas of cedar, flowers, sandalwood, dried strawberries and chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky, precise tannins that delineate the fruit. Fantastic precision and elegance. Focused, with linear, elegant, chalky tannins that dominate the elegant fruit and prolong it. Truly exceptional. Drink now or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Belair Monange comes strutting out of the glass like a total rock star with gregarious red cherries, blackberries and warm plums scents plus hints of lavender, rose hip tea, powdered cinnamon, cigar box and camphor. Medium-bodied, it completely fills the palate with vibrant red and black fruit layers, framed by a firm backbone of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Wine Spectator

The fruit—plum, fig and black currant—is decidedly dark in profile now, but it is very, very pure, with sleek and racy definition throughout. There's a swath of tobacco and alluring toast as well, but this red is defined on its back end by a bolt of chalky minerality that is buried deep and should emerge fully with extended cellaring. Best from 2022 through 2038. 2,400 cases made.

The 2016 Bélair-Monange has a very refined and precise bouquet: red berry fruit, red brick and light rose petal scents. Limestone terroir? The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, edgy and, whilst not powerful, there is impressive articulation of where it comes from. Give this more time. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

A Merlot-dominant blend that includes 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Château Bélair-Monange has pure darker cherries, currants, crushed stone, and graphite, as well as some sappy flower notes that all define this remarkably pure Saint-Emilion. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and a tad less exuberant and sexy than the 2015, yet I love its overall purity, balance, and just sheer sense of class. Still youthful today yet already offering pleasure, it should hit full maturity in another 2-4 years and evolve gracefully over the following two decades or thereabouts. Drink 2028-2046.

Bélair-Monange is a crunchy and spicy wine, quite impressive with a good fruity backbone and lots of stamina and power. It is a full bodied wine, almost resembling a northern Medoc wine as it is still tight and closed. The aftertaste is long and spicy and promises well for the future
