    Producer

    The Domaine du Bel Air vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, characteristic of the Bourgueil appellation. This terroir, bathed in a temperate oceanic climate, promotes the slow ripening of the grapes, allowing for the development of a beautiful aromatic complexity. The vines, several decades old, are cultivated with care, respecting natural cycles and the surrounding ecosystem. This attention to the vine is reflected in the quality of the grapes, which are harvested by hand to ensure rigorous selection.

    Owner and history

    Domaine du Bel Air is run by a passionate family who have passed down their love of wine from generation to generation. Today, the owners continue to develop the estate with a clear vision: to produce quality wines in harmony with nature. Their commitment to sustainable and responsible viticulture is at the heart of their philosophy, and this translates into informed choices at every stage of production. They are proud to share their story and their terroir through every bottle.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine du Bel Air is carried out with a constant focus on preserving the authenticity of Cabernet Franc. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature regulation. Aging in tanks for several months allows the aromas to develop and the tannins to integrate. This minimalist process favors the pure expression of the fruit and terroir, without artifice.
