Critic reviews
"The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier stands out once again as one of the highlights in the Vignobles K range. It offers a lively bouquet of cassis, mulberries and cherries mingled with spices and pencil lead. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it’s built around a concentrated core of fruit that's animated by bright acidity and framed by velvety tannins. The finish is long, ethereal and perfumed. It's a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured one-third in foudres, with a pH of 3.48. This is one of the most accomplished wines produced at this address to date."

"The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier has a very well-defined bouquet, with lifted black cherry and wild strawberry scents, and a touch of crushed rose petal in the background. There is a sense of transparency here that I appreciate. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid black fruit and an underlying citrus note that segues into a minerally finish that is very appealing. Excellent."

"The 2025 Bellefont-Belcier is another step forward for this Saint-Émilion estate. Aromatic and silky but with plenty of power, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Crushed flowers, mint, tobacco, incense and anise present gorgeous layers of aromatic nuance. Silky tannins frame the close. Tasted two times."

"The depth and intensity in the center palate makes you think. It’s medium- to full-bodied with very integrated, polished grape tannins. Creamy texture. A curated and transparent effort."

"Sweet berry fruit, shows lovely grip and clear limestone signature without sacrificing flesh. Raspberry, blood orange, pomegranate, wet stones, grilled cumin, incense, oyster shell rise through the palate. Harvest September 5 to 23. 30% new oak. 3.48 pH. Yield 33 hl/ha, JC Meyrou director, Emmanuelle d'Aligny-Fulchi technical director."

"Gorgeous vibrant colour in the glass. Fragranced purple flower aspects in the glass. Supple and well textured straight away, this takes hold in the mouth and doesn’t let go with such a delightful grip - not fleshy but filling, not overly ripe, more cool with a fresh mint and flint undercurrent. Velvety, sumptuous, round, enveloping but charming with such a delicate, textured finish, chalky but soft. Excellent expression. Very St-Emilion. Delicate and hands off while still giving so much complexity and energy. 3.48pH. A yield of 33hlha."
