Bel Air Marquis D'Aligre
In Margaux, the Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre stands out for its deliberately contrarian approach to modern Médoc standards. The vineyard is based on a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, cultivated without seeking excessive concentration or power.
Winemaking practices are based on a minimal-intervention approach, favoring measured extractions and discreet aging. This approach preserves the wine's fine texture and delicate aromatics, avoiding overly oaky or demonstrative profiles. The wines thus exhibit lighter structures than expected for the appellation, with a slow and gradual evolution in the bottle.
The estate offers a unique interpretation of Margaux, evoking older expressions of the appellation, centered on elegance, restraint, and precision. It is a domain followed for the consistency of its style and its commitment to a clearly defined identity.
