Description

Produced in very limited quantities, Annonce de Bélair-Monange benefits from the same attention as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the cellar: meticulous, sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture, followed by manual harvesting when the grapes have reached optimal maturity. Vinification takes place in concrete and stainless steel vats, where maceration and extraction are gentle and measured to allow the fruit to fully express itself. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels.

Annonce is very friendly from a young age, however a few years of aging or a few hours of decanting will be amply rewarded.

"A very precise and transparent second wine of Chateau Belair Monange with medium body, super integrated and refined tannins and a very, very long finish. Balanced and harmonious. Drink or hold."
