Chteau Blair-Monange was born from the fusion of the vineyards of Chteaux Blair and Magdelaine, both historic First Classified Growths of Saint-milion. Tracing its origins back to Roman times, the vineyard of Chteau Blair is situated at the highest point of Saint-milions famed limestone plateau. Chteau Magdelaine, a contiguous cru acquired in 1952, has always been renowned for the remarkable elegance of its wines. Chteau Blair-Monange expresses the unique style of the greatest parcels of these two complementary terroirs. An important restructuring of the vineyard was initiated in 2008 immediately following the acquisition of the estate by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix. Another wine embodying the inherent qualities of the vineyard minerality, concentration of red berries, balance and length emerged in 2014: ANNONCE DE BLAIR-MONANGE Produced in very limited quantities, ANNONCE enjoys the same attention as the Grand Vin: meticulous vineyard work undertaken with respect for the environment followed by a manual harvest once the grapes have reached optimal maturity. Vinification takes place in concrete and stainless-steel vats, where maceration and extraction are gentle and measured in order to allow the fruit its highest expression. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels. Although ANNONCE exhibits great charm in its youth, a few years of cellaring or a few hours of decanting will be largely rewarded.
