Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé AOC
Loading...
Superb 97-98pt Saint-Émilion from a Grand Cru Classé property, neighbouring some seriously prestigious vineyards. It’s beautifully structured, with a core of blackberries, spice hints, a silky texture and good tannins. Will age very agreeably.

The Wine
Château Bellefont-Belcier is a Grand Cru Classé property that’s situated on Saint-Émilion’s southern slopes, close to the prestigious vineyards of Châteaux Pavie, Larcis Ducasse and Tertre Roteboeuf. In this enviable position, Bellefont-Belcier produces intense wines, with superb balance, depth and longevity. Wine Advocate declared the 2022 "the finest and most elegant". It changed ownership in 2017 and has enjoyed a great renaissance since then. This very fine Merlot-led blend was aged for 20 months in French oak and has already won some fine reviews: Suckling wrote: "Fresh and vivid. Very sophisticated and classy". If drinking now, open early and decant, but this will age magnificently, so best to tuck away for a decade plus.
