Chateau Bellefont-Belcier Grand Cru Classe

Bellefont Belcier 2022

Bellefont-Belcier

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 98.0

Taking its name from the words “Belle Fontaine” or “beautiful fountain”, Château Bellefont-Belcier references the many hidden hillside springs of which the vines plunge their roots. Whilst it has undertaken different ownerships over the years, this repeated change in direction has not affected the integrity of the wine. Typical of Saint-Émilion, Château Bellefont-Belcier comprises a majority Merlot blend, averaging 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A sensual character, Bellefont Belcier’s smooth polished tannins mingle with flavours of ripe red berries and hints of liquorice which leaves you pining after the next sip.

CRITIC REVIEWS

James Suckling

Blackberry, iron, hazelnut, crushed stone, hints of salt and spice. Medium to full body. Fresh and vivid. Very sophisticated and classy. The tannins are silky and so fine, but then it opens up at the end of the palate.

Jane Anson

Concentrated deep plum colour, beautifully measured capturing the power of the vintage without being overblown. Opens with a burst of fresh red roses and violets on the nose, and the black cherry and damson fruits are shot through with a ton of saffran and turmeric. Mouthwatering sapidity on the finish, this is a brilliant Bellefont Belcier and absolutely one to look out for. 40hl/h yield; 30% new oak barrels for ageing, together with 30% unusual egg-shaped wooden vats, and the rest between one and two year old barrels. Emmanuelle Fulchi dAligny techincal director, moving over from Château Angélus, and this is the first full vintage under her direction (just did the blend of 2021).
