I love its overall complexity, and it's a more nuanced, complex wine in the vintage that's going to evolve and drink well for two decades. The 2022 is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. Tasted multiple times with consistent results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e95 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text text-readmore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 Bellefont Belcier, a blend of 72% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, confirms all our expectations placed on it during the en primeur tasting. Wafting from the glass with a fresh, delicate and complex bouquet of dark wild berries, flowers, iris, cassis and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless with a deep core of fruit and a vibrant, energetic mid-palate framed by delicate, refined tannins and culminating in a long, saline finish with chalky dry extracts. It will offer a broad drinking window.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text text-readmore\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CWH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47771576369384,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/4901\/8807\/files\/20251120_101706.jpg?v=1763656340","url":"https:\/\/shop.claytonwinehouse.com\/products\/22-chateau-bellefont-belcier-st-emilion","provider":"Clayton Winehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
