Chateau Belair Monange Premier Grand Cru Classe Saint Emilion 2013

90% Merlot - 10% Cabernet Franc

Château Bélair-Monange origins date back to Roman times.   Bright, with damson plum, cherry pit and blood orange notes that are slightly crunchy along the edges, as perky acidity drives underneath. The finish picks up rooibos tea and perfume floral notes before the chalky minerality strides in at the very end. 14% ABV
