2025 Chateau Belair-Monange
The 2025 Bélair-Monange is another outstanding wine from Saint-Émilion's plateau in this very challenging vintage. Aromatic, sculpted and wonderfully precise, Bélair-Monange marries power with finesse. Floral overtones, blood orange and a kick of exotic spice meld into red-toned fruit as the 2025 shows off its considerable allure. Clean saline notes appear on the midpalate, adding tension and energy through to the reverberating finish. ~ (97) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-28-2026
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. ~ (95) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-30-2026
Gorgeous nuanced crushed red rose petal nose, this has a lot of juice running right through the palate and is totally delicious, cherry pit, savoury blueberry and cranberry fruits, a ton of limestone signature, long and drawn out on the finish. Again a limestone junkie wine but here you will definitely get your fix. 26hl/h, Harvest September 4 to 19. 50% new oak for ageing. ~ (97) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-20-2026
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. ~ (98) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-30-2026
Attractive pitch of red-berry fruit on the nose. An undercurrent of tension on the palate but with adequate fruit and polished tannins. Builds to a firm finish. Chalky terroir evident but contained. ~ (17) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-23-2026
The 2025 Bélair-Monange was picked between September 4 and 19 and matured in 50% new oak. This has a classy nose, understated at first, exquisite delineation, nuanced with its mixture of red and black fruit, sage, undergrowth and light rose petal scents, real purity. The palate is armed with a satin-like texture, real depth and gentle grip, yet discreet and poised with disarming pliancy and fluidity on the almost viscous finish. Real umami sensation with this wine. This is a sophisticated Bélair-Monange that will give decades of drinking pleasure. ~ (97) Neal Martin, Vinous 5-7-2026
Ripe red and black fruits, savory flowers, classic Saint-Emilion chalky minerality, and camphor all shine in the 2025 Château Bélair-Monange, the flagship in the Moueix range born from a mix of Château Magdelaine and Château Belair, first made in 2012. Based on 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. A brilliant Saint-Émilion, it has the purity and balance to shine in its youth yet should age gracefully as well. ~ (98) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-11-2026
