Château Bellefont Belcier is a Grand Cru Classé property that’s situated on Saint Émilion’s southern slopes, close to the prestigious vineyards of Châteaux Pavie, Larcis Ducasse and Tertre Roteboeuf. In this enviable position, Bellefont Belcier produces intense wines, with superb balance, depth and longevity. The 2018 is the second vintage under new ownership and the Merlot-led blend was aged for 20 months in French oak. It has won some fine reviews, with James Suckling writing: “A dense, rich red, yet the tannins are so fine and integrated with beautiful texture and finesse.” "Lots to love here" said Wine Advocate. If drinking now, open early and decant, but this will cellar well. Pair with red meat dishes or a rich vegetarian casserole.

"Warm plums, blackberry preserves and cedar chest, plus wafts of lavender, clove oil and chocolate" Lisa Perrotti-Brown
