Château Belair (Dubois-Challon)
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Oh my. This is a stunning classical right bank wine done with soil in mind. Great dark fruit meets minerality and flowers, long, elegant, and really young. This is the very best St Emilion has to offer and its a baby, will require still some 5 to 7 years to be at its best. There is no big wood here nor malolactic in barrel, its done the old fashion way and its amazingly good. Top notch stuff, buy if you can find.

Spicy nose with some violets and a dark fruit profile that we find also on the fairly balanced palate, medium bodied and length, doesn’t show too much age, good but no big emotion or nothing special drinking this.
Nez épicé avec des violettes et des fruits noirs que l’on retrouve en bouche aussi, assez bon, bel équilibre, longueur moyenne, équilibré et ne montre pas son âge, mais rien de spécial et peu d’émotion à boire ce vin.
