Château Belair-Monange - Haut Roc Blanquant - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru | French Red Wine

Haut Roc Blanquant is a red wine named after a historic parcel of the vineyard of Bélair-Monange. The name translates literally to “High White Rock,” underscoring the vineyard’s geology. Released in very limited quantities since the 2014 vintage, Haut Roc Blanquant is produced from a selection of grapes offering charm, elegance, and approachability from a young age. Supple, bright, and inviting, Haut Roc Blanquant channels the refinement of its privileged terroir coupled with an enticing, youthful, fruit-forward vibrancy.

Château Bélair-Monange combines the terroirs of the most privileged sites of the appellation: the limestone from the central plateau parcels, situated at the highest point of Saint-Émilion, offers freshness, minerality, and delicate, lingering aromatics, while the dense, blue clay of the slopes provides intensity, length, and a unique elegance to the wines.

The three wines of Château Bélair-Monange enjoy 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 wines are then aged in French oak barrels.
