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.

Merlot
The Ca Marcanda Promis is a complex wine with an undeniable elegance. The nose is rich and concentrated, with blueberry, liquorice and cocoa hints. It starts fresh and then develops balsamic notes and scents of graphite, before becoming more mellow in character with a rhubarb and menthol note. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins on the finish.
