It reveals expressive aromas of red and black fruits, violets, and rose petals, layered with subtle spice and licorice. The palate is structured yet silky, combining chalky minerality, fine-grained tannins, and a core of concentrated fruit. Elegant, energetic, and deeply layered, the 2025 vintage shows impressive precision and ageing potential, finishing long with freshness and controlled power.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 97-98\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 30, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTight and firm, with toned tannins that run the length of the wine and create energy in the finish of crushed stones and chalk.

Creamy and cool, this has a soft texture – tannins are round and charming, generous but not overwhelming, supporting the cool blue fruit. Layered and finessed, definitely not as sharp as some and although there is a dollop of mouthwatering acidity, this is more relaxed and reserved, quiet with a gentle power and push from start to finish. I love the energy and the definition here – it’s pixelated with a lovely frame and such a long finish. Another dark horse, not yet fully shining but with excellent potential.\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 14.50%\u003cbr\u003eBody: Medium\u003cbr\u003eOak: Oaked\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: 2% Cabernet Franc 98% Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 93-95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 30, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2025 Château Belair-Monange opens in the glass with rich aromas of sweet cherries, berry preserve and fruit compote mingled with hints of licorice and spices.
