Château BELLEFONT-BELCIER
Grand cru classé
- 2017
- Saint-Émilion
Bellefont-Belcier, a grand cru classé with a magnificent terroir covering the eastern part of Côte Pavie, between Larcis-Ducasse and Le Tertre Rôteboeuf, is Mr Kwok's seventh acquisition (2016) in Libournais (with Tour Saint-Christophe, Enclos Tourmaline...).
Under the leadership of Michel Rolland and his team, his first 2017 vintage is already a masterstroke, signalled as such by Michel Bettane "Le nouveau propriétaire a voulu marquer une forme de rupture avec une sélection parcellaire plus poussée et une vinification plus douce. Une première réussie !".
2017 vintage rated 92/100 by Neal Martin "The palate builds on the promise it showed from barrel, fleshy with gentle grip, lightly spiced with a touch of black pepper towards the finish. There is good potential here, although I would afford it five or six years in bottle". (February 2020)
