B de Belcier is the Château de Belcier’s second wine, the Château de Belcier being recognised as one of the appellation’s gems. The Côtes de Castillon is thus one of the oldest wine making areas for Bordeaux wines and is adjacent to Saint Emilion.
The 50 hectares of vineyard benefit from extremely good exposure and lie on clay and limestone and clay and siltsoil. A majority of that land grows Merlot - the preferred Saint Emilion grape variety – and therest of the land grows a lesser proportion of Cabernet and Malbec.
The fermentation takes 12 days, with maceration at 28°C for 10 to 12 days according to the vintage. The wine is partly aged in barrels.
