Situated at the highest point of Saint-Émilion’s renowned limestone plateau, it has long been considered one of the region’s very best crus. In 1850 it was ranked by Cocks \u0026amp; Feret as the leading wine of Saint-Émilion, a position it held well into the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard combines the terroirs of the most privileged sites of Saint-Émilion. The limestone from the central plateau parcels offers freshness, minerality, and delicate, lingering aromatics, while the dense, blue clay of the slopes provides intensity, length, and a unique elegance to the wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important restructuring of the property was initiated in 2008 immediately following the acquisition of the estate by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix. Another wine embodying the inherent qualities of the vineyard – minerality, concentration of red berries, balance and length – emerged in 2014: Annonce de Bélair-Monange.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in very limited quantities, Annonce enjoys the same attention as the Grand Vin: meticulous vineyard work undertaken with respect for the environment followed by a manual harvest once the grapes have reached optimal maturity. Vinification takes place in concrete and stainless-steel vats, where maceration and extraction are gentle and measured in order to allow the fruit its highest expression. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Annonce exhibits great charm in its youth, a few years of cellaring or a few hours of decanting will be largely rewarded.  \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41105710972992,"sku":"RDFR20202818","price":95.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/annonce-belair-monance-saint-emilion-2017-750ml.jpg?v=1755087968","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/annonce-de-belair-monange-st-emilion-2020-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
