Description
At the heart of Southwest France's sweet specialities, the Ortus de Château Bélingard 2024 embodies a luminous expression of Monbazillac AOC, crafted to enhance the moment. Its name, evoking dawn, promises the first ray that reveals the contours of a generous and nuanced aromatic landscape.

As a refined aperitif with gently seasoned foie gras, alongside dishes with mild spices or to accompany a fruity dessert, Ortus celebrates the art of blending, hosting and savouring.
Blend and winemaking
Monbazillac finds its identity in a trio of grape varieties that answer one another naturally. Sémillon for silky body and honeyed accents, Sauvignon for lift, aromatic tension and brightness, Muscadelle for its floral swirls, all harvested at advanced ripeness when noble rot enhances the berries. Harvesting is traditionally done by successive selections to retain only the most concentrated and pure fruit. Winemaking, carried out with artisanal attention, preserves the integrity of the juices and the clarity of the terroir. Ageing, patiently managed, aims for fullness without weight, allowing a clear liqueur to express itself, sustained by structuring freshness. The whole produces a wine of harmonious style, both caressing and precise, faithful to the spirit of the appellation and to the pursuit of balance prized by the great wines of Monbazillac.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: bright and golden, with an appetising sheen, edged by a pleasing viscosity that promises a silky texture.
- Nose: seductive and nuanced, driven by aromas of candied fruits, dried apricot and quince, lifted by light honey, citrus peel and a floral note recalling orange blossom and hawthorn.
- Palate: creamy on the attack, with an ample, textured mid-palate, balanced by lively acidity that energises the liqueur. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving an impression of purity and clarity.
Serving temperature and tips
Serve this Monbazillac well chilled, around 8 to 10°C, in tulip glasses that concentrate the bouquet and highlight the silky mouthfeel. It is recommended to open the bottle a few minutes before serving so the aromas can unfold naturally. Store it away from light, ideally lying down, in a cool, steady cellar. Ortus 2024 can be enjoyed now for its youthful brightness and aromatic purity, and can evolve harmoniously over a few years according to your preferences, gaining complexity while preserving its initial grace.
Food pairings
- Aperitifs: foie gras toasts, lightly toasted dried fruits, brioche bites with apricot chutney.
- Starters: semi-cooked foie gras, spiced poultry terrine, lightly peppered pineapple carpaccio.
- Main courses: roast poultry with honey and herbs, vegetable and dried fruit tagine, moderately spiced Asian cuisine.
- Cheeses: aged blues, Roquefort, ewe's milk tommes, well-matured Comté for a salty-sweet contrast.
- Desserts: apricot tart, crème brûlée, vanilla-citrus entremets, lightly zested citrus salad.
