Bel-Air 'Jean & Gabriel' - Lussac Saint-Emilion 2023

Château Bel-Air : a family tradition in the heart of Lussac Saint-Émilion

The history of Château Bel-Air, nestled in the heart of the Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation, dates back to the early 20th century. Today, Antoine and Guillaume, the 5th generation of the Roi Family, manage the estate. They form a complementary duo: Antoine oversees technical management, while Guillaume is responsible for the international promotion of the wines.

Since 2014, the family has collaborated with Stephane Derenoncourt and his team to enhance the quality and precision of the wines and to better express of the terroir. The vineyard is situated on a broad plateau of clay (blue clay) with areas of silica gravel. The subsoil, primarily composed of clay and enriched with iron oxide “crasse de fer”, imparts
velvety, silky and smooth qualities to the tannins.

Château Bel-Air meticulously crafts each of it wines with great care, in accordance with longstanding tradition and expertise. Each wine reflects the rich and authentic winemaking heritage of the estate.

The 2023 Vintage: 

Tasting note: 
The wine is almost black in color. The complex, intensely fresh bouquet opens on toasty notes, enhanced by powerful black fruit aromas. The wine is generous, full-bodied and silky on the palate, and gains structure from the extremely fine-grained Cabernet tannins, which envelop the palate and are present throughout the tasting. It evolves towards an impressively long finish. The body, structure and freshness of the wine are remarkably well-balanced. An extremely elegant wine with a great ageing potential.
