Notes - 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. It 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. Try with red meats, game and cheese.
