Bellefont Belcier Vintage:2004 An ultra-fresh nose features notes

An ultra-fresh nose features notes of both red and dark currant that enjoy pretty top notes of violet and rose petal plus a touch of earth

rose petal and mint develop nicely

(from two very large parcels of vines totaling over 3 ha)

Billecart-Salmon's newly released 2006 Brut Le Clos Saint-Hilaire is showing well

This very firm effort will require 12 to 15 years of bottle age to arrive at its full apogee

Bellefont Belcier Vintage:2004 An ultra-fresh nose features notesRich and earthy, the 2005 Bellefont Belcier comes from an estate of 33+ acres and is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. A structured, potentially long lived wine, it has a dense purple color, notes of cassis and black cherry liqueur, a deep minerality, ripe tannin, and a beautiful, full bodied mouthfeel and finish. This is a brilliant wine and a sleeper of the vintage to drink over the next 10 15 years.
