Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2020

99–100

Denne næsten gigantiske vingård med 23,5 hektar vinstokke er direkte nabo til Château Ausone med en perfekt beliggenhed i Saint-Émilion. Den hed tidligere Château Belair. Rivalen til Château Ausone. De kæmper altid et eller andet sted, Ausone, Belair Monange, så Beausejour Duffau, nogle gange Canon. Det er de virkelig store navne heroppe på kanten. Château Coutet ligger lige nedenfor. Vinstokkene er 25 til 30 år gamle - så slet ikke så gamle. Tæt beplantet, nyplantet. 98 procent Merlot og to procent Cabernet Franc. Så næsten ren Merlot. Skråningerne er alle kalkstensplateauer med et let lag blåt ler. Vinen forsorteres flere gange og sorteres derefter optisk igen ved hjælp af laserteknologi. Fuldstændig afstilkning. Gæringen foregår derefter temperaturkontrolleret i beton, og vinen lagres i 18 måneder på franske barriques, 50 procent nyt træ. Château Belair Monanges historie går tilbage til romertiden. Det ligger på det højeste punkt i Saint-Émilion. I 1855 var ejendommen den førende vingård i Saint-Émilion i de vigtigste publikationer. Château Belair Monange, som længe har været ejet af en tidligere Ausone-partner, blev købt af Jean-Pierre Moueix i 2008 og gennemgribende renoveret, primært i vinmarkerne. En del af denne vinmark hed tidligere Magdelaine. Med INAO's godkendelse blev begge dele derefter slået sammen til Belair Monange. Monange var pigenavnet på Jean-Pierre Moueix' mor. 2020 Belair Monange blev høstet i den tredje uge af september. 2020 er ekstremt gunstigt for denne vinmark. Der var overhovedet ingen tørkestress på denne undergrund. Årgangen med sin enorme modenhed og finesse understøtter fuldstændig denne vin. Det, der er så dejligt, er, at der næsten ikke er nogen træpåvirkning blandt de bedste producenter. Alle skifter nu til større fade, brugte barriques. Denne Belair Monange er en enorm sky af sorte kirsebærsmage. Med masser af violer, lidt fersken og abrikos bagved. Fyldig, fin og svævende. Stadig overdådig, bare ikke fed. Utrolig meget spænding i munden. Wow, tungen ruller, øjnene spærres op. Vinen har en utrolig friskhed i den meget modne frugt. Salt til sidst, chokolade, lakrids, kraft, pres. Vanvittige vibrationer. Alle Moueix' store vine - fra La Tour à Pomerol til Trotanoy og La Fleur-Pétrus - har brug for en lang periode i flasken for at fordøje denne sødme og overdådighed og afsløre deres finesse. For vinene fra Moueix i 2020 er fine, og dette er allerede stor biograf. 99-100/100

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

A blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Belair-Monange has a deep garnet-purple color. It begins on a single note of bright, juicy red berries and roses, before expanding out to a whole array of suggestions of black plums, raspberry preserves, and mince pie, plus wafts of lilacs, loam, and cinnamon toast. The palate is full-on, full-bodied, jam-packed with muscular black and red berry layers and so many floral and savory accents, supported by velvety tannins, finishing with epic length and so much energy that it shimmers. 99/100

Decanter om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

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. 99/100

Suckling om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Intense aromas of wet earth, limestone cellars and dark fruits such as currants and blackberries. Then turns to flowers. Black truffles, too. Licorice. Gravel. Full-bodied with a solid palate of tannins that melt into the wine. It’s sleek and muscular with fantastic length and presence. Reminds me of great old Belairs from the 1950s. Cool wine. 98% merlot and 2% cabernet franc. Give it six to eight years of time. Best after 2028. 99/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Full-bodied, concentrated, rich and velvety, the wine promptly provides layer after layer of flawlessly ripe, black and dark red pit fruits, crushed rocks, licorice, espresso, smoke and flowers. Long, deep, rich, concentrated and focused, the wine finishes with a majestic combination of minerals, black plums, black cherries, dark cocoa, velvet-laced tannins and spice. The stony finish sticks with you for close to 60 seconds. Give this at least a decade before pulling a cork and enjoy it over the next 3 decades with little effort. 98-100/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The gunsmoke character is immediately evident on the nose, as is richly expressed damson and raspberry fruit. This is pared back and held back right now, elegant, showing a seductive edge without trying too hard. The texture is softly-brushed velvet, these tannins are front and centre but so fine and so precise that they don't get in the way of the fruit. Salinity from the limestone is evident on the finish, bringing a moreish juiciness and you can scrape your tongue against the pumice stone texture. Austere in all the right ways, with just the most incredible depth and layers. I love it. Harvest September 15 to 23. 98-100.

Galloni om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

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. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Belair Monange 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The Grand Vin 2020 Château Belair-Monange is also 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc that's a blend of the upper limestone plateau and the more clay heavy soils on the hillside. Very much in the tight, structured style of the vintage, its dense purple hue is followed by a great nose of ripe black cherries, black raspberries, dried flowers, loamy earth, and camphor, with a beautiful sense of minerality. Opening up with time in the glass, it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, gorgeous overall balance, and a great finish. It offers pleasure today but will benefit from 7-8 years of bottle age and will be a 30+ year wine. 98/100

Belair Monange

Denne 1er Grand Cru Classe hed tidligere Belair og blev ledet og overvåget af Monsieur Delbec, en tidligere partner hos Ausone. Delbec var en katastrofe, og det er kun siden hans afgang, at Ausone konsekvent har været nr. 1 i Saint Emilion. Moueix-familien, som ejer Belair, omdøbte slottet til...
