2025 Bellefont-Belcier (St-Emilion)

The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier has a very well-defined bouquet, with lifted black cherry and wild strawberry scents, and a touch of crushed rose petal in the background. There is a sense of transparency here that I appreciate. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid black fruit and an underlying citrus note that segues into a minerally finish that is very appealing. Excellent. 92-94 points

The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier stands out once again as one of the highlights in the Vignobles K range. It offers a lively bouquet of cassis, mulberries and cherries mingled with spices and pencil lead. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it’s built around a concentrated core of fruit that`s animated by bright acidity and framed by velvety tannins. The finish is long, ethereal and perfumed. It`s a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured one-third in foudres, with a pH of 3.48. This is one of the most accomplished wines produced at this address to date. 94-96 points

The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier is another step forward for this Saint-Emilion estate. Aromatic and silky but with plenty of power, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Crushed flowers, mint, tobacco, incense and anise present gorgeous layers of aromatic nuance. Silky tannins frame the close. Tasted two times. 92-95 points
