Chateau de Bel-Air Lalande de Pomerol

Featured prominently in the esteemed Cocks & Feret guides since as early as 1922, Château de Bel-Air stands proudly atop a sun-kissed plateau, gently sloping towards the south. Renowned for its historical excellence and prime location, ensuring optimal sun exposure year-round, the estate captured the attention of owner Michel de Laet Derache, who acquired it in 2011.

The 2015 vintage of Bel-Air exudes elegance and charm. Radiant red stone fruit, intertwined with hints of tobacco and floral nuances, impart a delightful aromatic lift, adding a touch of sensuality to its medium-bodied character. Each element harmonizes effortlessly, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and balance.

Unveiling a bouquet driven by tertiary notes, the wine reveals subtle undergrowth scents intertwined with layers of black fruit. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile, wrapped in velvety tannins and buoyed by well-judged acidity. Smooth in texture, it culminates in a harmonious finish, tinged with a hint of salinity, leaving a lasting impression.

Comprising 73% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, each varietal contributes its unique essence, resulting in a symphony of flavors that epitomizes the essence of Château de Bel-Air.
