Haut Roc Blanquant by Belair Monange 2016, Saint Emilion, 75cl
Haut Roc Blanquant is the third wine of Chateau Belair-Monange, one of Saint-Emilion’s great estates. Named after a historic parcel of the vineyard - literally “High White Rock” - the name reflects the limestone rich terroir that is central to the character of Belair-Monange. Produced in very limited quantities, Haut Roc Blanquant is made for charm, elegance and earlier drinking, while retaining the refinement of the Grand Vin.
"The attractive cranberry, red-cherry and redcurrant nose leads you into an elegant, medium-bodied St.-Emilion that’s already a pleasure to drink, but has soft tannins that give it some aging potential. Good length. Pure Merlot. Drink or hold." James Suckling, Jan 2019
