ChateauBel-AirLussac Saint Emilion Description: Substantial and rich on the nose. Fullish-bodied with heaps of fruit on the palate. Very good grip. This is not a bit too firm. Lots of depth. Complex and balanced. In the heart of appellation Lussac-Saint Emilion, lies ChateauBel-Air which comprises of 30 unbroken hectares, including 21 hectares of vines. In 1978, Jean-Noel Roi took over the estate which has been in his family for over a century.The vineyard stands on a wide plateau of clay with areas of silica gravel, with a subsoil of clay and iron pan. The wine is 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines are on average 25 years old, a great age for producing well balanced wines. In maturing the wines the most traditional methods are used: 150 oak stave barrels, one third of which are renewed every year. A further guarantee of quality is that bottling takes place at the chateau 18-20 months after harvesting. By that time the wine has a fine, deep colour and is tannic without being too aggressive. The fruit makes it a pleasant drink in it's early years, but reaches full maturity at five to ten years old, sometimes more. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £147.15
