Name: Château Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre, 1996
Brand: Parcelle Picks
SKU: RBX-BAM-1001
Price: 65 USD
Availability: OutOfStock

Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre is an increasingly rare breed in Bordeaux. Rather than embrace oak and big fruit flavors, this winery in Margaux is uncompromisingly old school. They make nuanced, earthy wines that need time to come into their own. It’s the kind of rusticity that’s been replaced by polish in Margaux, and we’re very much here for it.

“Finding 1996 Bordeaux that’s in a good place right now isn’t difficult. Finding it at this price point is a very different story.”
