Belair-Monange
This St. Emilion Chateau traces aspects of its lineage to the 1300s, yet 2008 heralded great change with a new name and a change in winemaking. Stringent selection and later picking is yielding riper fruit. A long term replanting plan is underway. This estate is producing its best wine in decades.
