Wine Advocate
With some of the oldest vines in all of Bordeaux, especially one parcel from 1905, Belair Monange’s 2012 (14.5% alcohol) is a tribute to this great terroir that was poorly managed and exploited prior to the family of Jean-Pierre Moueix taking over. Now it is Christian Moueix and his son Edouard who manage the property and produce the wine. The 2012 is a beauty, with a deep ruby/purple color, complex notes of minerals, crushed rock, red and black fruits, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, great texture, long finish and true ability and character. It should age beautifully for 20 or more years and yet be drinkable another three or four. Production is small, as only 1,300 cases were produced.
Wine Spectator
Very charming, pure and supple in feel, with a slightly open-knit texture allowing the notes of cherry preserves, raspberry coulis and fresh damson plum to play out with an almost breezy air. The minerality checks in as you would expect, but much more so through the finish than up front. Very elegant.—Non-blind Bélair-Monange vertical (December 2016). Drink now through 2028. 1,506 cases made. — JM
