Bellefont-Belcier, a grand cru classé with a magnificent terroir covering the eastern part of Côte Pavie, between Larcis-Ducasse and Le Tertre Rôteboeuf, is Mr Kwok's seventh acquisition (2016) in Libournais (with Tour Saint-Christophe, Enclos Tourmaline...).
Under the leadership of Michel Rolland and his team, his first 2017 vintage is already a masterstroke, signalled as such by Michel Bettane "Le nouveau propriétaire a voulu marquer une forme de rupture avec une sélection parcellaire plus poussée et une vinification plus douce. Une première réussie !".
The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 92/100 “The palate builds on the promise it showed in barrel, fleshy with a gentle grip, slightly spicy with a touch of black pepper on the finish. This wine has good potential, but I'd give it five or six years in bottle.”
