Château Belair-Monange St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé 2014
Roasted damson and greengage plum, touches of flaky pastry, orange peel and cloves, this is a gourmet style with toasted oak and melted tannins, luxurious with the beautiful saline balance of limestone. Ready to drink but will age further, enjoyable but less precision than you find in more recent Belair Monange vintages. 50% new oak. There was plenty of vineyard replanting going on at this time, as had been the case since the 2008 Moueix purchase, 23.5ha planted. Harvest September 27 to October 8.
