Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre
Château Bel Air - Marquis d'Aligre is an estate with centuries of history, still producing excellent wines with a classic and elegant profile.

For half a century, the property has been passionately and competently managed by the Boyer family. The estate is located on the Fougasse plateau in the inland of the Margaux Appellation, in a highly esteemed terroir. It is considered one of the most interesting estates in the area, for the distinctive personality of its reds. Already classified as Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 1932, Château Bel Air - Marquis d'Aligre did not apply for the new classification in June 2003.
The estate covers a total area of 13 hectares, characterized by alluvial soils composed of pebbles, gravel, and sand from the Garonne. The climate is cool and breezy, particularly suitable for viticulture, which has been present in these lands since fruity. Also endowed with a good aging potential, the wines evolve very well, enriching themselves with elegant tertiary notes, which however never overshadow the varietal typicity.
