Description
The structure and aromatic richness of a Saint-Emilion wine by Bellefont-Belcier
The estate
Chateau Bellefont-Belcier was bought in 1889 by the Faure family who, through their innovation and hard work, made this estate into one of the jewels of the Bordeaux region. In 1994, it became the property of BJL & Partenaires, opening a new chapter in the life of this Grand Cru Classe, whose facilities were modernized. Chateau Bellefont-Belcier has passed through several hands in recent years before joining the Vignobles K of Hong Kong's Peter Kwok in 2017.
The vineyard
Around twenty hectares in total, the vineyard of Chateau Bellefont-Belcier, Grand Cru Classe of Saint-Emilion in the Bordeaux region, extends over a clay-limestone hillside and molasse de Fronsadais soils.
Vinification and aging
Harvests between September 15 to October 9. The fermentations were carried out without the addition of sulfur, and vinification took place entirely in concrete vats. Aging was carried out in new oak barrels (30%), in ovoid casks (20%), in second-fill barrels (25%) and third-fill barrels (25%).
The blend
The Chateau Bellefont-Belcier 2020 was made from a blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (25%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%).
