Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre Margaux - Rouge 2011

Wine:

Each vintage is unique! The 2011 Château Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre offers an incredible tasting experience. The nose opens on aromas of ripe fruits and spices that continue in beautiful flavors on the palate. A bewitching wine, that is unlike any other in the world of Medoc, with a silky texture and a long and enticing finish. A bottle to enjoy today or even in thirty or twenty more years…the choice is yours!

A true free thinker, who sees beyond the Bordeaux system and its many constraints, Jean-Pierre Boyer is a master in creating rare and exquisite Margaux. A wine unlike all others that is acclaimed by critics and amateurs from around the world. With more than 70 harvests to his credit, the man is not simply a winemaker. He is a true artist who knows how to prioritize the vineyard, searching for and selecting only the ripest and most perfect grapes for his wines. A true eccentric, he prefers to age his wines in vats until May, then in wooden barrels for a short time before returning them to age in vats for two more years, just like it used to be done in the 19th century. A long and intricate aging process that confers a unique finesse and smoothness to these wines created by a true maestro!
