Château de Belcier is located on the right bank of the Gironde in the Côtes de Castillon, one of the oldest wine regions of Bordeaux. The Estate dates back all the way to the 1780’s but today is modern world class property. The 128 acres of vines, are planted in the the clay-limestone and silty clay soils. Plantedmainly to Merlot (the king of Saint Emilion), largely in the majority, but also Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the vine average a mature 35 years of age. Advised by Michel Rolland, the most famous oenologist in the world.

Château de Belcier was built in the late eighteenth century, long owned by an old family from Bordeaux allied to Montaigne, was rebuilt in part by François de Belcier, cons revolutionary guillotined in 1794. Since the 1998 vintage, the Château de Belcier has won 10 medals and 21 citations.

The wine has been slowly maturing in the Chateau’s cellars and has reached a fine stage of complexity and enjoyment. We don’t expect this rare aged Bordeaux to last very long especially at the discounted price we’re offering for our W Wine & Liquor Warehouse（Puchong）customers. Don’t wait, you don’t want to miss it.
