£55.00
In stock
Annonce de Bélair-Monange 2018 Bordeaux is a rich and intense blend of 98% Merlot and 2% & Cabernet Franc. A wine that starts subtly and builds up to a crescendo of lightly spiced red berry notes.
The grapes for Annonce are hand-harvested and fermented in a combination of concrete and stainless steel vats. Extraction is done gently, to emphasise the purity of fruit and maintain delicacy. It is then aged in French oak barrels. The resultant wine is seductive in youth, but certainly serious enough to reward a decade of ageing, depending on the drinker's style preference. It is also suggested to decant the wine, if young, for 2 to 3 hours, to enhance the experience.

98% Merlot & 2% Cabernet Franc.
On the nose, aromas of crushed black plums, blueberry compote, and menthol are followed by suggestions of spices and fragrant soils. The 2018 is full-bodied, rich and spicy in the mouth. The palate has exquisite, plush tannins and freshness. The finish is long and fruity.
This would work well with mature hard cheeses, duck breast with a plum sauce, or sirloin steak.
