Château de Bel-Air, Lalande-de-Pomerol 2015

Region : Bordeaux       The vines, averaging 40 years of age, are planted on a terroir of gravel brought from the volcanic Massif Central by rivers during the quaternary era, with layers of iron-rich clay. In order to best express the nuances of the site, the vineyard is managed and vinified plot by plot, with a respect for the different ages of the vines, varietals, and rootstocks. Internationally renowned, Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has become a hallmark for the top wines of Bordeaux.

Aging: 12-18 months in 45% new French Oak Barrels.       Grape varieties : Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon       Tasting notes :        On the nose it shows notes of red fruit and floral aromas that infiltrate the senses. On the palate, a harmonious balance between flesh and tannins means it can be enjoyed after just a few years of cellaring. A delicate wine that is a perfect partner for refined dishes.
