Chateau Bel-Air
Description
Ex-Chateau stock, shipped September 2025.
On Bordeaux’s right bank in the towns of St-Emilion and Pomerol, Merlot finds its finest expression in clay-rich soils. Particularly in the winter, we love the smooth velvety texture and firm shape of Pomerol.
Now 9 years on from harvest, this wine is simply a delight. The nose is beautiful and deep with inky violets and plums in the nose - perfume and lush fruit abound. Antonio Galloni of Vinous gave 91 points, calling it "powerful, explosive Pomerol" with "plenty of immediacy and sheer appeal." Drink now - 2028.
