Château Bellefont-Belcier 2024

Fruity and vibrant, this is lovely, concentrated, round, ripe and generous with balanced acidity – bright but not severe – with fine tannins and lovely mineral, oyster shell salinity. It’s refined, there’s nice detail to the expression, but above all this balances texture and fullness with a sense of easy charm and a lifted, almost sweet liquorice aspect on the finish. Really great stuff. Drinking window: 2030-2049. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
