Château Bellefont-Belcier 2025

Gorgeous vibrant colour in the glass. Fragranced purple flower aspects in the glass. Supple and well textured straight away, this takes hold in the mouth and doesn’t let go with such a delightful grip – not fleshy but filling, not overly ripe, more cool with a fresh mint and flint undercurrent. Velvety, sumptuous, round, enveloping but charming with such a delicate, textured finish, chalky but soft. Excellent expression. Very St-Emilion. Delicate and hands off while still giving so much complexity and energy. 3.48pH. A yield of 33hlha. Drinking window: 2030-2048. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
