Our oenologists' opinion

Powerful bouquet

Dark garnet colour with bright red highlights. Open nose with notes of red fruits, plums, cherries, frank, greedy, a touch of milk chocolate. Supple attack, long and fat tannins. Character of crushed red fruits and roasting, hint of candied pepper and green pepper. Full-bodied finish, quite powerful, good balance.

Features

Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.

Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.

Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.

Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

Domain and appellation

  • CHATEAU BEL AIR

    Situated in the heart of the Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation, Château Bel-Air radiates from its single vineyard. Terroir: This 21-hectare estate lies on a clay plateau with a presence of gravel and a subsoil composed of iron and clay. Viticulture: The vines are on average 35 years old with 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are harvested when they have reached ideal ripeness. Vinification: Vatting lasts several weeks in thermo-regulated vats and is preceded by traditional maturation in oak barrels. The wines are bottled on average 18 months after the harvest.
