Vinous
par Antonio Galloni le 27/04/2016
The 2015 Bel-Air Jean & Gabriel is plump, juicy and delicious. Black fruit, espresso, licorice and leather meld together effortlessly. This is an especially dark wine for the year. A measure of freshness is lacking, but the wine makes up for that with its sumptuous, racy feel. The blend is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, but the Merlot is clearly dominant. Simon Blanchard and Arnaud Gimonnet are the consulting winemakers. Tasted two times.
