Château Bélair-Monange 2014

With the amalgamation of Château Magdelaine into this one property, the estate is now a considerable 58 acres. The wine is now performing in top gear. Powerful tannins drive the mainly Merlot blend with 10% Cabernet Franc. It still shows signs of the wood aging and these will disappear to leave a richly endowed wine with a fine future. Drink from 2026. Cellar Selection. Score – 96. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2017)
