The 2016 vintage was particularly harmonious. A very hot and dry summer allowed the development of ruby-colored wines. These wines with a delicate nose have developed scents of vanilla and blackcurrant during their aging in oak barrels. With age, spicy notes appear. On the palate, the attack is smooth and the tannins are supple.
Elegant and Powerful A wine like his representative, with elegance and complexity.
Elegant and Powerful A wine like his representative,Spices, red fruits, tannic structure ... Saint Emilion is located on the right bank and the most cultivated grape varieties are Merlot and Cabernet Franc. With soils with a clay-limestone influence, wines are born which delight with their aromas of ripe black fruits and spices like pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, it is sweet with present and round tannins. Ideal for elegant moments.
Somehow unknown to the general public because it is only distributed in specialized stores, this Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, produced by the Château la Fleur d'Arthus, deserves your full attention. It is generous, smooth and complex. A juicy wine that will marry a large number of red meat dishes for example.

Château BELAIR is an elegant wine and without complexities gifted with fine aromatics, result of the work of an artist called Pascal Delbeck.
A deep, ruby red appearance. The intensity of aromas is very pronounced. On the nose, it conjures up a cocktail of red fruit, raspberry and cherry, and candied fruit, black-berry, blueberry and plum. Swirling unveils a floral bouquet of Austin rose and lilac, together with a hint of almond. The tannins are ripe and silky, smooth and rounded. The wine is supple and full and the medium-length finish leaves an impression of freshness. The absence of oak is worthy of mention.
PREMIER GRAND CRU CLASSÉ “A” In the last thirty years, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest has constantly challenged practices and techniques for the benefit of his land and the unique characteristics of the wines grown on it, enabling Château Angélus to be recognized as one of the foremost properties in its appellation area. This recognition has been documented in one classification after another, the last of which awarded Château Angélus the status of Premier Grand Cru Classé "A".
Bold, ripe and almost flashy, showing good drive and vivacity, with fresh acidity pumping the boysenberry, steeped plum and raspberry fruit along while a roasted apple wood note fills in the finish. Drink now through 2018. From Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Wine Spectator 90 Points
Following the acquisition of the Château des Laurets in 2003, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild wanted to reveal the fabulous potential of this estate through investments in facilities and increased attention to all wine-making practices. Thanks to its efforts, since the 2004 vintage, on the 90 hectares of vines that the property comprises, only 4 hectares have been selected among the best parcels of Merlot to produce the quintessence of the estate. A cuvée of excellence was born under the name: "LAURETS - BARON EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD".
