Château Bélair-Monange 2020 blends Merlot (approx. 90%) with Cabernet Franc, sourced from the estate’s prime hillside and plateau vineyards above the village of Saint-Émilion. The soils here—limestone and clay-limestone—lend the wine both structure and aromatic lift, while meticulous farming and élevage under the Moueix team deliver a wine of refined power.

The 2020 shows vivid notes of black cherry, violet, crushed stone, plum, and dark chocolate, framed by silky tannins and a backbone of fresh acidity. There’s a wonderful interplay between ripeness and restraint, making this both age-worthy and already expressive in youth.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, and aging occurs in French oak (often 50–60% new), with minimal intervention. The result is a wine that is both structured and luminous, with a finish that echoes the estate’s limestone identity.

Pair with duck breast, roasted lamb, or truffle dishes, or cellar for 15–30 years. This is modern Saint-Émilion at its most elegant and terroir-transparent.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Bélair-Monange is tremendous. What a wine. It is easily the best effort since the Mouiex family bought the property. Rich, ample and dramatic, Bélair-Monange saturates the palate with waves of inky dark red fruit. Sweet floral, espresso and spice notes appear later, adding shades of nuance. Clean mineral notes extend the finish effortlessly. A wine of exotic beauty and allure, Bélair-Monange is a real stunner in 2020." -Vinous

"Striking yet elegant, this holds its own being tasted after the more plush and ripe Trotanoy while this is more focussed and streamlined. Just as confident, concentrated and intense but in a different way completely. This is more reserved, refined and less overt, with an incredible purity and precision to the layers of red berry fruit and salinity from the limestone. Such nuance and detail, this is seductive with a powdery texture to the tannins. Really very well worked. Hard to pick a favourite as the length and overall sculpting here are exceptional. A gorgeous wine with star power that really leaves a lingering impression."
