Chateau Belair-Monange 1er grand cru classe
Previously known as Chateau Belair, the name was changed to Belair-Monange upon its full purchase by the Moueix family in 2008. The 12 ha vineyard is planted predominately to Merlot with some Cabernet Franc growing on limestone and clay soils. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and lined concrete tanks prior to undergoing maturation in a mix of new and seasoned barriques for 18 months. A philosophy encompassing reduced yields, later harvesting and meticulous fruit selection have resulted in a richer more generous, concentrated style since 2008.

Château Pavie Macquin Saint-Émilion
Château Pavie Macquin is stunningly situated on the clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion on the right bank of Bordeaux. In recent years, the introducing of biodynamic viticulture and modernised winemaking techniques promoted the Château to a Premier Grand Cru Classé classification in 2006. Vintage 2007, a traditional blend dominated by Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brings a rich palate brimming with ripe berry fruit flavour with slight undertones of tobacco and mint leaf.
