Lot Details
This property was taken over by the Armand Ballande family in July 2017 but still relies on the historical network created by the Cazes family in France and overseas. Composed of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Villa Bel Air sings of black raspberries, blackberries and mulberries with touches of plum preserves, spice cake and cloves plus a waft of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich and spicy with impressive concentration and a firm yet plush backbone, finishing with great length. 89/91 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (April 2019), April 2019 Note: Cellared in a temperature controlled cellar since purchase
