Description
Born from the fusion of the vineyards of ch�teaux B�lair and Magdelaine, both historic First Classified Growths of Saint-�milion, this limited-production wine is grown in a vineyard which can trace its viticultural origins to Roman times and is situated at the highest point of Saint-�milion's famed limestone plateau. Vinification takes place in concrete and stainless-steel vats, where maceration and extraction are gentle and measured in order to allow the fruit its highest expression, before the wine is aged in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes
A very impressive second wine (of Ch�teau Belair-Monange) with good concentration and the same kind of vitality and fresh red-fruit character as the first wine. Substantial but elegant tannins give it a firm backbone that should enable it to mature through at least 2025, but this should hold longer than that. Score - 93.
