Château Bel-Air Lussac Saint-Emilion 2020

Château Bel-Air 2020 – Lussac Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux

Producer's Notes:

Round, mild and seductive, Château Bel-Air is both a balanced and structured wine, expressing the elegance and finesse of its terroir. Powerful, rich in colour and concentrated, the wine will have an aging potential of 10 to 15 years, or even longer in great vintages.

What we say:

A beautifully balanced Right Bank red from an excellent vintage, the 2020 Château Bel-Air offers generous fruit, refined tannins, and classic Saint-Émilion charm at a superb value. From blue-clay soil vineyards just north of the famous plateau, this cuvée delivers richness without heaviness and a polished, modern style.

The nose opens with ripe plum, black cherry, and blackberry, supported by hints of cocoa, cedar, and warm spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and supple - medium to full bodied with rounded tannins, juicy dark fruit, and a clean, lightly savoury finish. The 2020 vintage adds lift and freshness, giving the wine both immediate appeal and short-to-medium term ageing potential.

Grape varieties: Mainly Merlot (70%) with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Cabernet Franc

Style: Smooth, fruit-forward, polished Right Bank claret
