Château Villa Bel-Air is located in Saint Morillon in the heart of the «Graves» appellation. This 18th-century property was bought in 1988 by Jean-Michel Cazes and his family. From this date, the vineyards and the technical installations have been completely restructured. Advanced techniques are implemented in the renewed vines but the spirit in which they are tended perpetuates ancestral traditions. Today Chateau Villa Bel-Air produces red and white wines which perfectly illustrate the finesse and complexity of Grave wines.
Tasting Notes: A pale yellow color with hints of green, this wine has a delicate bouquet sustained by broom, jammy fruit, and pear notes. On the palate, the delicate vanilla and butter caramel notes reveal the wine’s oak aging. The roundness and richness of the finish merge with hints of lemongrass, leaving the wine wonderfully balanced.
