Dark plum and blackberry drive Chateau Bellefont Belcier 2019, layered with subtle floral tones, spice and a touch of mineral freshness that keeps its generous fruit in perfect check. The palate is medium to full-bodied and velvety, with finely shaped tannins and impressive tension that carries through a long, juicy, savory finish. A poised, energetic Saint-Émilion that clearly has the structure to reward patience.

Château Bellefont-Belcier is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé red, typically a Merlot-dominant blend with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from limestone and clay-limestone slopes neighboring Pavie and Larcis-Ducasse, known for its polished tannins and marked limestone minerality. The wine is vinified in concrete with gentle extraction and aged mainly in French oak (about 30% new), yielding deep, dark-fruited, floral and licorice notes with fresh acidity and good aging potential that reflect its south-facing hillside terroir.
