{"title":"A St. Emilion Superstar: Belair-Monange","description":"\u003cp\u003eLongtime \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Emilion\u003c\/strong\u003e lovers may remember the old \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Magdelaine\u003c\/strong\u003e, the source of many fine-boned bottles of classic \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Emilion\u003c\/strong\u003e. It has been 15 years since the name disappeared, after \u003cstrong\u003ethe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMoueix family\u003c\/strong\u003e merged the property with nearby \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Belair\u003c\/strong\u003e to create the new \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Belair-Monange\u003c\/strong\u003e. The succeeding years have given us more than enough evidence to verify the wisdom of this development, as tastings consistently demonstrate the wine as among the appellation’s finest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocated on the limestone plateau and hillsides around \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Emilion\u003c\/strong\u003e, the vineyards have noble neighbors: châteaux \u003cstrong\u003eCanon\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAusone\u003c\/strong\u003e. As for the wine, \u003cstrong\u003eBelair-Monange\u003c\/strong\u003e combines the hedonism of succulent \u003cstrong\u003eMerlot\u003c\/strong\u003e fruit with the raciness and chalky minerality of its limestone soils. It’s a magical combination: the fruit ensures suppleness in cooler vintages, while the acidity and minerality provide freshness and attack in (the many) warmer years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have a range of recent vintages in stock, including the opulent and well-priced \u003cstrong\u003e2018\u003c\/strong\u003e, the energetic, concentrated \u003cstrong\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e and the exuberant \u003cstrong\u003e2020\u003c\/strong\u003e. A special word must be dedicated to the \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e; from what is rapidly becoming recognised as an all-star vintage, the \u003cstrong\u003e2022 Belair\u003c\/strong\u003e is a magnificent wine of great depth of flavor and manifold beauties. It is already giving pleasure and will only improve for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2018","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2018","description":"","brand":"Sothebys Wine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47397993873721,"sku":"BRME18BT","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":47397993939257,"sku":"BRME18MG","price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/BRME-generic.jpg?v=1708012927"},{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2019","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2019","description":"","brand":"Sothebys Wine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47397994463545,"sku":"BRME19BT","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/brme19.jpg?v=1698634730"},{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2020","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2020","description":"","brand":"Sotheby's Wine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":48049997545785,"sku":"BRME20BT","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":48049997578553,"sku":"BRME20MG","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/BRME-generic_85ea21f4-50fa-4885-8aa7-c05f7912f10d.jpg?v=1708013028"},{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2023","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003ePre-arrival ETA Late 2026, Ex Bordeaux\u003cbr data-mce-fragment='1\"'\u003eEquivalent to $194 per bottle or $388 per Magnum\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sotheby's Wine","offers":[{"title":"OWC6Bottle","offer_id":49147266302265,"sku":"BRME23OWC6BT","price":1164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OWC3Magnum","offer_id":49147266367801,"sku":"BRME23OWC3MG","price":1164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/BRME-generic_85ea21f4-50fa-4885-8aa7-c05f7912f10d.jpg?v=1708013028"},{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2022","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2022","description":"","brand":"Sotheby's Wine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50956998738233,"sku":"BRME22BT","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":50956998771001,"sku":"BRME22MG","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/BRME-generic_85ea21f4-50fa-4885-8aa7-c05f7912f10d.jpg?v=1708013028"},{"product_id":"chateau-belair-monange-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-b-2016","title":"Chateau Belair-Monange: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Premier Grand Cru Classe B 2016","description":"","brand":"Sothebys Wine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":51278008254777,"sku":"BRME16BT","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/files\/BRME-generic.jpg?v=1708012927"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2626\/7961\/collections\/belair-monange-vines-collection.jpg?v=1757087598","url":"https:\/\/wine.sothebys.com\/collections\/a-st-emilion-superstar-belair-monange.oembed","provider":"Sotheby's Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
