Information
Located in the commune of Cars, on clay-limestone slopes, Château Bel-Air is one of the Côtes de Blaye's finest properties.
Xavier Loriaud bought the vineyard in 1995 and has managed to give the wines a highly individual style by including nearly 30% Malbec in the blend. Planted with Merlot on the property's 13 hectares, the Malbec produces wines with a particular character.
After ageing for 18 months in barrels, the wine develops delicious aromas of red fruit with notes of toast and liquorice. This ageing results in a very accessible wine. The overall impression is of good balance and a long finish.
