Ch.de Bel Air
On Bordeaux’s Right Bank in the Libournais, Château de Bel-Air in Lalande-de-Pomerol builds its identity around Merlot, sharpened by touches of Cabernet Franc. The aim is clarity: ripe core, fresh edges, and a distinctly local, fine-grained grip. From clay-rich pockets to gravelly bands, each parcel is harvested and vinified on its own to capture both volume and lift.
Hand harvesting and rigorous sorting feed a gentle, temperature-controlled fermentation, with punch-downs kept precise to protect fruit and tannin finesse. Ageing in French oak—barriques alongside larger casks—adds definition and length while keeping the vineyard imprint intact.
The result is a classic satellite‑Pomerol mindset: measured power, polished tannin architecture and a quietly confident style designed to unfold over years, not minutes, with every vintage telling its own chapter.Ch.de Bel Air
