"'08 Château Bélair Monange sports a new name [formerly Château Bélair and Château Magdelaine] that announces a change in style and quality. The wine is black ruby with purple tints. Flowers, licorice, blackberry, and minerals fill the nose. Silky tannins, along with a plush mouth feel, make the wine fun to taste. The wine has an opulent character, and it finishes with long, ripe, pure flavors. The château, located on great terroir, shows what a difference picking ripe fruit and exercising selection can do."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
