Château Bel-Air is a 30-hectare estate located in Lussac-Saint-Emilion, the most northerly of the four `satellites` within the larger Saint-Émilion appellation. This release is from the excellent 2015 vintage, a charming blend of 75% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Expect a medium-bodied wine, with a smooth and perfectly balanced palate. A very enjoyable Bordeaux rouge from one of the lesser-known sub-regions.
88 Robert Parker
Blended of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 de Bel-Air has something of a dark-fruited, animal, broody nose, showing notes of stewed plums, baked blackberries and beef drippings with a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it has a very refreshing palate with a light grip of tannins and a lively herbal lift to the finish.
88 Vinous
The 2015 Bel-Air is a very pretty, gracious wine. Bright red stone fruit, tobacco and floral notes give it aromatic lift and plenty of sensuality to match its midweight personality. All the elements are very nicely balanced throughout.
16.5 Jancis Robinson
A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 73% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. 15 ha (37 acres) of gravel and clay. Bright transparent crimson. Heady and opulent on the nose. Very pleasing if pretty evolved with some floral notes. (JR)
