Château Bel-Air Eiffel 2020

A polished Bordeaux Supérieur with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cassis, cedar, and gentle spice. Smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and ripe fruit create an approachable yet structured wine with an elegant, lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef tenderloin, duck breast, aged Gouda, Comté, or herb-roasted vegetables.

This is spiced and savory with dark berries, dried citrus rind, dried herbs and wet earth. Medium body. Creamy, mouth-coating tannins with a chalky texture and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

This estate, owned by the heirs of Gustave Eiffel (of the tower fame), is situated in a small appellation on the west side of the Dordogne River facing Fronsac. The wine is richly structured and texture, its black fruits, dominated by Cabernet Franc, spicy and generous. It is likely to be ready from 2025.

Graves de Vayres, located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, is recognized as the second-oldest appellation in the Bordeaux area (see gravesdevayres.com). The 2020 Chateau Bel-Air Eiffel is generous and lasting on the palate. This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of fragrant spices, early summer blackberries, and pleasant notes of sandalwood. Enjoy it with roast duck topped with berry glaze. (Tasted: March 5, 2025, San Francisco, CA)
