Description
This fully mature claret has come direct from the property and offers lovers of aged claret a real treat. Black fruits on the nose mingle with herbal notes, cedar and a complex spice. The palate is nicely balanced with some dried dark fruits and earthy notes well-integrated with spicy oak and mineral undertones. The finish is long, showing more complex liquorice, smokiness and dark chocolate along with lingering oak.
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Chateau Bel-Air is a 10-hectare property that neighbours vineyards owned by Château Angelus in the commune of Montagne and is remarkably well-exposed, with both rocky and clay-limestone soils. The vineyard is divided into two parcels: 6 hectares on the clay-limestone plateau, with vines over 40 years old, and 3 hectares on a slope with more clay-rich soils, with vines aged 15 to 20 years, predominantly Merlot. The consultant winemaker is Damien Houx, a young rising star in Bordeaux who has won numerous gold medals across all of the cuvées at Bel Air.
