Bellefont-Belcier
In 1994 the Bellefont-Belcier vineyard and winery were considerably renovated. This was matched by a marked improvement in the quality of wine under the direction of co-owner and estate manager, Dominique Hébrard. In 2012 it was the first grand cru classé of Saint-Emilion to be purchased by a Chinese citizen.

Jeb Dunnuck (95-97)Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2018 Château Bellefont-Belcier always showed brilliantly, with a full-bodied, sexy style that’s very much in the vintage. Coming from a 12.5-hectare vineyard just beside Larcis Ducasse (this is an incredible terroir) and a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, aging in 40% new French oak, its deep purple color is followed by a classic bouquet of ripe black fruits, tobacco leaf, earth, and spice box. Deep, rich, and textured, with sweet tannins, it’s another rock star effort this vintage that’s going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and keep for two decades or more. |
