Marquis de Bellefont Saint Emilion Grand Cru Size:75clThe second wine of Chateau Bellefont Belcier, which owes its name Belle Fontaine meaning beautiful spring, to the numerous springs near to the Chateau and to its founder, the Marquis of Belcier. A Merlot based blend, this is rich, silky smooth and has plenty of charm. A classic right bank Bordeaux with a bit of bottle ageing, dominated by Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, lots of ripe, rich red fruits, velvety tannins and a long finish. A shining
Match with medium-bodied meat dishes
lemon basil and pear aromas
Naturally lower in sugar and higher in flavour
A versatile wine
using straw for insulation and biodynamic geometric principles based on “sacred geometry” to enhance the gentle evolution of the wines
drip irrigation and minimum fertilisation
The alcohol used is neutral in order to avoid undesirable parasite tastes: and therefore all the flavour and complexity of the honey taste can develop
Tannins are firm with plump fruit and a round silky texture
where they have cultivated and studied indigenous grape varieties (such as Pugnitello) for over 30 years
Berthelemot is a young domaine
