Chateau Belair Monange Saint Emilion Grand Cru
A.B.V. 14%
2011 began with an early winter, cold and with little rain. Spring was dry, warm and very sunny (up 131% compared to previous years). Summer was somewhat erratic, with some high temperatures marred by storms in June and a cooler, humid July.
Thankfully August saw a return of the heat that continued throughout September and well into the autumn, ensuring excellent concentration of the grapes. The harvest was early, but abundant, so careful sorting was necessary, and those estates with the means to do so have reaped the benefits.
Harvest took place from September 14th to 24th. Winemakers who handled the fruit and the extractions gently have made wines of great precision,freshness and elegance.
