Merk

Château Bellefont-Belcier

Château Bellefont-Belcier dateert uit de late achttiende eeuw en is ideaal gelegen op de zuidelijke hellingen van Saint-Émilion, niet ver van de prestigieuze wijngaarden van Château Pavie, Château Larcis-Ducasse en Château Tertre Roteboeuf. Het dankt zijn naam - Belle Fontaine, wat 'prachtige bron' betekent - aan de talrijke bronnen in de buurt van het kasteel en aan de stichter, de markies van Belcier.
