"... this is a dramatic statement....rather elegant and classical. You could drink this with a steak tonight, but those who have the patience to cellar it will get so much more pleasure!" - James Suckling
"73% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, notes of red fruit and floral aromas infiltrate the senses. On the palate, a harmonious balance between flesh and tannins means it can be enjoyed after just a few years of cellaring. A delicate wine that is a perfect partner for refined dishes.
Mentioned in the Cocks & Feret guides as one of the best wines of the appellation as early as 1922, Château de Bel-Air is situated on a sunny plateau that gently slopes southward. The historical quality of its wines and its privileged position, which guarantees the vineyard ideal sun exposure year-round, have continuously contributed to the acclaim of these high-quality wines." - Bel Air
