About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceHaving undergone considerable changes over the past few years with the Mouiex family taking control of the historic Saint-Émilion estate in 2008, the wines from Château Belair-Monange have taken a giant leap foward. After an amazing effort in a difficult year of 2008, the 2009 release is some to behold. More restrained than some of their appellation cousins, the Belair-Monange has notes of graphite, cedar and cigar box along with balanced and lifted blue fruit notes. Should be considered an architype of its right bank terroir.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This extraordinary terroir, now exploited by Edouard Moueix, the son of Christian, seems to be coming to life in a dramatic fashion. Never a hedonistic wine, but very intellectual, the 2009 suggests a liqueur of crushed rocks intermixed with black currants and black cherries. Still somewhat closed, medium to full-bodied, and impressive rather than seductive, this is a structured wine that needs to be forgotten for at least a decade, and then drunk over the following 30+ years. If readers are looking for the quintessential example of a terroir-dominated wine, this is Lesson 101 in terroir.
