(JA 98-100 points) Beautiful quality here, all about measured delivery of the character of the vintage, with a slab of limestone minerality that sits squarely in the mid palate, emphasising the juicy pomegranate, orange...

Wine Enthusiast, November 2023

(WE 98-100 points) A superb wine, rich and full of balanced structure and dense fruits, this is elegant and powerful. It has the potential to be a great wine, developing over many years. — Roger Voss
JL 99

TheWineCellarInsider.com, May 2023

(97-99 points) Dark in color, the wine pops with its notes of flowers, licorice, plums, espresso and chocolate-covered cherries in the perfume. But, it is on the palate which somehow remains perfectly balanced between all...

The Wine Independent, May 2023

(TWI 97-99 points) Composed of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Belair-Monange has a deep garnet-purple color. It needs considerable swirling to unlock scents of blackberry preserves, mulberries, and plum...

Decanter, April 2023

A fabulous wine in the making. Perfumed aromatics on the nose, ripe black fruits and purple flowers. Clean and intense, grippy straight away, the tannins give the impact and hold the attention, ripe fruit, but lean cool...

Vinous, May 2023

(VN 96-98 points) The 2022 Bél-Air Monange was picked from 8 to 20 September. It offers copious red fruit on the nose laced with graphite and sous-bois scents, gaining complexity in the glass. I love the detail and...

(95-97+ points) Another beautiful vintage for this cuvée, the 2022 Château Belair-Monange is 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc coming from a mix of terroirs on the upper plateau and hillside vineyard just outside of...

The 2022 Belair-Monange St. Emilion is a remarkable representation of a Bordeaux blend from the Saint Emilion sub-region, exuding a harmony of power and elegance. Coming from the notable producer, Belair-Monange, this wine beams with a striking red color, neatly encased with a cork closure.

This exquisite vintage has garnered praise from numerous wine experts. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes the wine as full-bodied, deep, and powerful, with a layered core of fruit, powdery tannins, and a long, slightly heady finish. It showcases the ripeness of the vintage with its aromatic notes of blackberries, cherry preserve, black tea, and licorice.

James Suckling's review further illustrates the wine's complexity, noting loads of mocha, red fruits, and hazelnuts, with traces of wild strawberries and violets. The full-bodied wine is beautifully balanced with dusty, fine tannins spreading across the palate, giving it a lovely soft texture that ends elegantly and long.

Jeff Leve highlights the perfect balance between the wine's concentration, intensity, richness, and freshness. The palate reveals a plush, soft, fresh, and vibrant wine with a long finish bearing traces of crushed rocks, stones, chalk, and bright, fresh red fruits.

Jane Anson points out the wine's measured delivery, emphasizing the juicy pomegranate, orange rind, blackberry, and raspberry fruits that slowly inch around, creating a really slow build that points to its longevity.

The Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss deems this wine as rich and full of balanced structure and dense fruits, elegant, and powerful. It is a superb wine with the potential to be a great wine, expected to develop over many years.

All these glowing reviews affirm that the 2022 Belair-Monange St. Emilion is a testament to the mastery of its producer and the richness of its Bordeaux origins.
