Description: | Château Bélair-Monange, one of the most esteemed estates in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, has a storied history that dates back to the 14th century. Originally known simply as Château Bélair, the estate was a jewel of the Libournais region, renowned for its prime location on the limestone plateau that characterizes the best vineyards of Saint-Émilion. In 2008, the estate was acquired by the renowned Moueix family, who also own the iconic Château Pétrus. They renamed it Château Bélair-Monange to honor Anne-Adèle Monange, the mother of Jean-Pierre Moueix, who played a crucial role in establishing the family's winemaking legacy in Bordeaux. The Moueix family embarked on significant renovations and replanting programs, enhancing the vineyard's potential and ensuring meticulous attention to detail in the winemaking process. Today, Château Bélair-Monange stands as a testament to centuries of winemaking excellence, producing wines that are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and the unique minerality imparted by the estate's historic terroir. |
