Chateau Belair-Monange 2025

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

93-95
The 2025 Château Belair-Monange opens in the glass with rich aromas of sweet cherries, berry preserve and fruit compote mingled with hints of licorice and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's lively and polished, with a rich core of sun-kissed fruit and a youthfully structured finish.

James Suckling (98)

97-98
Tight and firm, with toned tannins that run the length of the wine and create energy in the finish of crushed stones and chalk. Medium- to full-bodied. Its power spreads nicely across the palate. 98% merlot and 2% cabernet franc.

Falstaff (99)

Deep ruby-garnet color with violet highlights and a subtle lightening at the rim. Delicate nougat, black wild berry jam, ripe heart cherries, still somewhat reserved, with a floral touch in the background. Full-bodied, juicy, dark berry fruit, subtle extract sweetness, velvety tannins, elegant and lingering, a seamless wine of great length, harmonious and already well-developed, with assured aging potential.
