Producer Information

Pierre's vineyards are certified High Environmental Value (HEV) Level 3 - a French Government standard that focuses on overall farm standards, beyond whats required for "organic" certification. For a long time the wines of Cotes de Castillon were only used to enhance Saint-Emilion blending in poor years. But in the 1970's, local wine growers made serious efforts to improve quality and in just a few years, Castillon has become a serious competitor in the region.

Grapes

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Production

La Tuque Bel Air is made up of 90% merlot, the remainder being Cabernet Sauvignon, it is aged in oak barrels for 12 months which soften the characteristic tannin of the region.

Tasting Notes

Deep colour, dark fruit aromas and flavours. Intense flavours and soft tannins. A lovely example of Right Bank Bordeaux - from Castillon to the immediate East of St Emilion, on the same escarpment. This is an elegant and mineral wine that can be kept in the cellar for up to 5 years.
This is great with pork chops, pan fried duck breast, mushrooms and mature cheeses.
