Perched on the limestone slopes south of the village of Saint-Émilion, Château Bellefont-Belcier is one of the appellation's distinguished Grand Cru Classé estates. The vineyard's limestone, clay, and gravel soils provide the foundation for wines that combine richness, complexity, and elegance. The exceptional 2020 vintage showcases the estate's modern precision while remaining true to Saint-Émilion's classic character.
Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum, and violet are complemented by notes of cocoa, espresso, graphite, and baking spice. The palate is rich and layered, with concentrated dark fruit, mineral tension, and polished tannins. The dominance of Merlot brings depth and velvety texture, while Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift and freshness, and Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and length. The finish is long, refined, and remarkably persistent.
A superb companion to grilled steaks, lamb, braised short ribs, wild game, and aged cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for further development over the next decade and beyond.
Blend: 72% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
