Château Belair-Monange 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
94-96 Barrel sample. There is some initial mineral austerity, but this lies on top of powerful fruits. The wine is dense and solid on the chunky side. Very concentrated.
— R.V.

Château Belair-Monange 2009 Red (Saint-Emilion)
A core of sweetness shows through this wine. It has juicy acidity shining prominently—it shows its fresh side immediately. Bélair-Monange is still a work in progress, although this will always be a delicious wine.

Château Belair-Monange 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Smoky wine, dominated by its dry tannins, seemingly extracted. The wine certainly has weight and power, but the dryness is a major element at this stage. It will need serious aging time.

Château Belair-Monange 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Belair has been given a new name, after Christian Moueix's grandmother, in honor of its purchase by the Moueix family. The wine is ripe, with its dark tannins and perfumed fruit, lifted by a final smoky character.

Château Belair-Monange 2008 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
Big and structured wine, with ripe jammy fruit. Rich spice, soft tannins and dense texture all come together to give a rounded feel. Acidity at the end makes a final, tight contrast.
— R.V.
