Who makes it
Count Louis Francois de Belcier officially founded the vineyard in the middle of the eighteenth century. Château Bellefont-Belcier is a red Saint Émilion wine carrying the estate's name.
Where it grows
The property sits on the south facing Côte Pavie slopes in Saint Émilion, near Château Pavie and Larcis Ducasse. A south facing slope receives more direct sunlight, which can help grapes ripen fully.
What they make
Château Bellefont-Belcier is a red Saint Émilion wine made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot accounts for 72%, Cabernet Franc 17%, and Cabernet Sauvignon 11%.
The 2023 Château Bellefont-Belcier opens with delicate floral notes, black cherries and wild berries, followed by spice and mineral undertones.
