Hailing from the Right Bank of Bordeaux (which is the Merlot-dominant side), this beauty is 73% Merlot, 19% Cebernet Franc adn the blance Cabernet Sauvignon. Chateau de Bel-Air is hailed as one of the standouts of its appellation in books as far back as 1922, and sitting on a southerly-facing sunny uprising, this is a walk-up start for value in this part of the world.
