Château Bel Air Marquis D’Aligre

Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre is located in the town of Margaux in the Bordeaux wine region. In all the classifications of the 17th and 18th centuries, the wine of Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre was considered one of the best Seconds Crus. It was not classified in 1855 because the Marquis d'Aligre, who owned it, reserved it for his friends and therefore did not go through the brokers who developed this classification. However, in 1932 during the first classification of the Crus Bourgeois, it was one of the few to be classified “Grand Cru Exceptionnel”, and this mention still appears on its label.

Delicate notes of red fruit, black fruit and leather. This wine requires opening bottle few hours prior consuming to lush with notes of earth, cigar box and prunes. Great delicacy and sweetness on the palate with fine tannins and a sweet and long finish.
