Every row is a live ask on the Vinovest book, not a completed sale. The estimated market price above is a Liv-ex-based valuation and will often sit above the lowest ask; the book is what you can actually trade against today. Highest bid on the book: $260.

About This Wine
Is this the best Château Bélair-Monange to date? Wine critic Neal Martin thinks so. He lauded the red blend (92 merlot and 8 cabernet franc) as “an accomplished, riveting Saint-Émilion” en route to a 97-point rating. Martin isn’t alone. Lisa Perrotti-Brown and Jane Anson gave it identical scores, while James Suckling awarded 2016 Château Bélair-Monange a 99-point rating.
Get ready to roll out the red carpet. From the beginning, 2016 Château Bélair-Monange parades around like a movie star. Dazzling aromas of red and black fruits, mocha, wildflowers, tea, cinnamon, tobacco, and camphor captivate the senses while juicy tannins lend balance to the blend. Meanwhile, the limestone of Saint-Émilion adds lift to a finish that resonances for eons. Hold this genie in the bottle for upward of four decades.
The Final Sip: The 2016 Château Bélair-Monange might be this red blend’s finest iteration and a reason why the estate ranks among the top wineries of Saint-Émilion.
