Located in the historic capital of Beaujolais, Beaujeu, Domaine de Bel-Air has been producing superb Beaujolais since 1840. Today the estate is run by Jean-Marc Lafont, who, since 1992 has used eco-friendly vine techniques (HVE certified) with minimal intervention to produce healthy, natural grapes. Jean-Marc produces impressive well-built fruit-forward wines and deserves to heralded amongst the Beaujolais elite.
2018 was a near-perfect vintage, much like 2015 the wines are well built and have great aging potential. The 2018 Domaine de Bel-Air Morgon Les Charmes is a well-built wine with some aging potential. Coming from hand-harvested, 50-year-old vines, the wine is rich with fine tannins and a staggering long finish. This 2018 Beaujolais is a perfect backyard wine best enjoyed while flipping burgers on the grill underneath the warmth of the sun.
Aging: In vats and barrels for 8 months.
Tasting Notes: Red Wine. 100% Gamay. This wine dons a deep garnet red robe and gives off ripe stone fruit aromas including cherry, peach, apricot, and plum. Well-built, this rich, powerful, and fleshy wine comes from soils made up of really ancient schist and eruptive rock. A wine to lay down, suited to 5 to 10 years’ cellaring.
