Haut Roc Blanquant is the third wine of Château Bélair-Monange, a leading producer in Saint-Émilion and currently ranked as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B. The wine has been released in very limited quantities and it is produced from vines specifically selected for their approachability from a young age. This release from 2014 – the very first vintage of the wine – is a 100% Merlot, aged for 16 months in oak barrels [30% new], bursting with ripe fruit and full of tension. A stunning debut.
