The 2013 Bellefont Belcier, now under the proprietorship of the Wang family from China, has a lively bouquet that is well defined and offers satisfactory fruit for the vintage: black cherries and raspberry coulis, a distant scent of wet limestone. The palate is fresh and crisp with fine acidity, blood orange tincturing the red berry fruit, leading to a precise and lively finish that does not outstay its welcome. This is a commendable effort in a difficult vintage, not the best this Saint Emilion has offered in recent years, though certain to please those seeking a delicious early-drinking wine.
