Château Bellefont Belcier: A Right Bank Revival

The Château Bellefont Belcier, a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, sits on the prestigious Côte Pavie hillside, adjacent to iconic estates like Pavie and Larcis Ducasse. The unique clay-limestone soil provides the perfect foundation for a wine of exceptional depth, structure, and mineral elegance.

Now part of the Vignobles K portfolio, the Château has been revitalized, with a focus on precision winemaking to fully capture the essence of its historic terroir. The result is a sophisticated Bordeaux blend that marries opulent fruit with refined tannic structure-a true investment for the cellar or a magnificent bottle for a special occasion.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, intense ruby hue with brilliant clarity.
• Nose: Complex and inviting, showcasing ripe dark berries (blackcurrant, plum), layered with notes of fine cedar, cigar box, graphite, and a distinct floral lift of violets.
• Palate: Generously full-bodied with a velvety texture. The fine, silky tannins are beautifully integrated, giving way to a refreshing, chalky acidity. Expect a long, elegant finish that highlights the wine's concentration and age-worthiness.

Serving & Pairing

Pair this luxurious Grand Cru Classé with rich, classically prepared dishes.

• Service: Decant for an hour or two. Serve at 16-18°C.
• Pairing: Traditional Roast Turkey with all the trimmings, slow-cooked Game Pie (Venison or Pheasant), or a strong Mature Stilton.
