The 2016 Chateau Bellefont-Belcier is a stunning wine from the prestigious Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation. This wine boasts a deep garnet-purple color and a sexy, floral character.

The palate is well-structured with polished tannins, offering a harmonious balance of ripe red berries and a lingering earthiness. The finish is long and mineral-driven, making it a perfect match for grilled lamb, beef stew, mature cheeses, and roasted duck.

Winery

貝勒芬 - 聖埃美隆酒莊創建於 18 世紀末，完美地位於聖埃美隆南向的山坡上，毗鄰帕維酒莊、拉西斯-杜卡斯酒莊和特特羅特布夫酒莊。這個酒莊由路易-弗朗索瓦·德·貝爾西爾伯爵創立，並在 1994 年進行了大規模的重建。2006 年被評為特級酒莊，並於 2017 年由郭彼得收購。葡萄園面積為 13.5 公頃，擁有石灰岩高原、南向的黏土石灰岩坡地和山腳下的地塊。釀酒過程包括地塊管理、傳統農業和在溫控木桶和混凝土桶中的溫和萃取。

Created in the late 18th century, the Bellefont-Belcier estate is perfectly situated on Saint-Emilion’s south-facing slopes, neighboring Château Pavie, Château Larcis-Ducasse, and Château Tertre Roteboeuf. The estate was founded by Count Louis-François de Belcier and has undergone major restructuring in 1994. Classified as Grand Cru Classé in 2006, it was acquired by Peter Kwok in 2017. The vineyard spans 13.5 hectares with limestone plateau, south-facing clay-limestone slopes, and plots at the foot of the slopes. The winemaking process involves parcel management, traditional farming, and gentle extraction in temperature-controlled wooden and concrete vats.
