Château Bélair, now Château Bélair-Monange, is a historic Saint-Émilion estate with origins in the 14th century. Under the ownership of the Moueix family, the estate has been revitalized, producing Merlot-driven wines that reflect its exceptional limestone terroir.
Situated in Saint-Émilion, the estate benefits from its position on the limestone plateau, which provides excellent drainage and consistent ripening conditions for its Bordeaux varietals.
Limestone-rich soils impart structure and minerality, while clay layers add depth and balance, creating refined wines with vibrant acidity and silky textures.
