Château Belair-Monange St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2012

Powerful dark fruits, layered over with anis, fennel, saffron, white pepper, tobacco, smoked butterscotch. Impressive, a little more oak influence than you might find in this wine today perhaps, but the limestone fingerprint has closed around the fruit, and there is plenty to sink in to. A key year at this estate, marking the inclusion of the former vineyard of Château La Magdeleine.
