Chateau Bellerose Figeac "Prestige"

Wine information: Chateau Bellerose Figeac is located in the west of the St Emilion vineyard area. The property is divided in two parcels: the greatest (8.25 ha) is in St Christophe des Bardes and is surrounded by some Classified growths: Balestard La Tonnelle, Dassault. The second is close to the St Emilion / Pomerol border, next to Chateau Figeac. This parcel provides the majority of the grapes for the Prestige cuvee. The Prestige Cuvée is 100% Merlot. It undergoes a long maceration (25 to 35 days) with micro-oxygenation and then malolactic fermentation in barrels. It is then aged for 8 to 15 months in new oak barrels. Consultant oenologist is Jean Philippe Fort who is part of Michel Rolland's team.

Tasting Notes: Chateau Bellerose Figeac "Prestige" is a full-bodied, meaty, silky and supple wine with delightful ripe fruit aromas. There are also subtle oak notes and mellow tannins. Drink now or over the next 10 to 15 years.

Food & Wine match: Try with red meats, game and cheese.
