2010 Bellefont-Belcier, St-Emilion

SKU #1316249 93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Wonderful aromas of black truffles and berries with hints of wet earth. Full body, with velvety tannins and a rich and chewy finish. Yet the fruit and acidity balance this muscular wine. Inner quote mark (2/2013)

93 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark There's a nice charcoal note driving this from the start, while the dark plum, blackberry and black currant fruit waits in reserve. Ganache, licorice snap and tobacco fill in the finish and give this added range, while a singed alder wood note runs underneath for added texture and length. Impressive. Best from 2015 through 2030. (JM) Inner quote mark (3/2013)

92 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The wine offers up notes of jammy black cherries, black currants, licorice, camphor, underbrush and some subtle vanillin. The wine is full-bodied, voluptuously textured and rich, with good acidity, surprising freshness and laser-like definition given its ampleness and length. It can be drunk early on for its beautiful fruit, but look for this wine to hit its stride in 5-7 years and last for two decades. (RP) Inner quote mark (2/2013)

This wine is fantastic and a great value at under $60. As most of the 2010s, it is still a baby at 12 years old. Plenty of rich blackberry flavors with smoky, toasty aromas. Some licorice notes-black licorice of course. Rich and full-bodied wine that will go for another 15 years. This is a property to watch as the Kwok team has taken over the ownership.

This is deep and toasty with ripe black currant fruit, espresso roast and licorice snap flavors melding together gloriously. The mid-palate is fat and textured and there is a long, mineral infused finish of roasted herb and ripe, sweet tannin. This is an outstanding bottle to drink or age.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Merlot

- A very popular red grape variety found in the great wines of St. Emilion and Pomerol. It is the most planted variety in Bordeaux, and it has also become an extremely fashionable red in many regions including California. Although it has a reputation to be smooth, and easy to drink when young, Merlot is also capable of producing extremely intense wines as well. It is often used as a blending agent with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
