The vineyards of Bélair-Monange occupy some of the choicest plots of the Saint-Emilion appellation, in three sectors – at the highest point of the limestone plateau, on terraces adjoining it, and on south-facing, steep hillsides. The Moueix family bought the château in 2008, and did not delay in making considerable investments in the vineyards. An impressive new winery opened its doors with this 2023 vintage, and the results are magnificent. 98% Merlot with 2% Cabernet Franc, aromas are intricately layered and lingering, with fresh, floral, rose petal tones alongside red berries and spice. Palate is striking for its seamless, luscious texture and beautiful clarity of fruit. This is pitch perfect Saint-Emilion of great sophistication and class. It has gorgeous depth and lift, with fine structure and an aftertaste that is impressively long. This shows the elegance, concentration and finesse of which the appellation is capable, being one of the greatest wines of the 2023 vintage (for drinking 2032-2048+).
Please note, this en primeur wine is limited to 1 case online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix
The family firm of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix own many of the finest châteaux on Pomerol’s central plateau as well as Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Bélair-Monange in Saint-Émilion. In addition, they manage the vineyards of several other Right Bank châteaux, helping them to produce wines of outstanding harmony, beauty and elegance. Christian Moueix has been the guiding light of the family’s progress since his first vintage in 1971. His son Edouard is now taking over, aided by a brilliant team in vineyard and cellar. Our history with the Moueix family goes back to 1970, when Nick Clark and Anthony Hanson MW first started our business with them. We have been shipping from them uninterruptedly since then.
Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix belongs to classical school of wine making. Their aim is to produce wines which are fully ripe, yet lively, with all elements subtly integrated and with great length of flavour. These wines have the ability to gain smoothness, complexity and silkiness as they mature.
