A Deep Dive into the Glass

Pouring a glass of Chateau Bel Air Bordeaux Rouge reveals a deep ruby hue with bright reflections.

On the palate, the wine unfolds with a smooth and silky texture. The medium body presents a delightful balance between the juicy fruit flavours and the gentle grip of tannins. The red fruit notes from the nose translate beautifully, joined by hints of earth and tobacco for a touch of savoury character.

  • Cheese: Select cheeses with a bit of bite, such as aged cheddar, Gouda, or Gruyere, to create a delightful contrast with the wine's fruitiness.
