CHATEAU BELLEFONT-BELCIER ST EMILION GC 750 ml

Description

Discover the allure of Château Bellefont-Belcier St Emilion Grand Cru, a standout red from Bordeaux's storied limestone slopes. Nestled near Pavie on the Côte Pavie hillside, this 12.5-hectare estate has thrived under Peter Kwok's guidance since 2017, crafting a wine that captures the essence of its prime location.

From the first pour, an inviting bouquet emerges, weaving floral elegance with hints of cherries, liquorice, and cocoa alongside truffle and spring flower whispers. Subtle earthy undertones of leafy tobacco and rich soil add depth, drawing you into a sensory journey true to St Emilion's character.

On the palate, ripe fruits burst forth in a cascade of juicy sweetness, balanced by vibrant freshness that carries through every sip. The medium to full body unfolds with silky texture, offering round softness and fine tannins that meld seamlessly for exceptional finesse.

Exotic fruit layers mingle with dense richness, while a saline limestone twist lingers on the finish, complemented by chocolate notes and a confident bite. Plums arrive sweet and plush, leaving an impression of refinement and poised potential.
