Château Bel Air Perponcher - Réserve 2018
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"Silvery highlights shine in this remarkably balanced wine. It delivers a basket of exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, and kiwi) and citrus fruits. Just the right amount of liveliness, suppleness, and richness: the balance is real. And the aromas linger long on the finish. (Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2020)

About wine:
Silver highlights sparkle in this remarkably balanced wine. It delivers a basket of exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, and kiwi) and citrus fruits. Just the right amount of liveliness, suppleness, and richness: the balance is perfect. And the aromas linger long on the finish.
About the estate:
Formerly owned by the Perponcher family, who were forced to flee to Holland after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, it was acquired in 1990 by the Despagne company. A vineyard located on a clay-siliceous plateau overlooking the Dordogne, essential for Bordeaux (in all three colors), Bordeaux Supérieur, and Entre-Deux-Mers.

Review and opinion by Mr. OLIVIER O. Published on 01/02/2020
A very nice blend, more focused on fruit (exotic fruits) and sweetness than acidity, as is often the case with this type of wine. Beautifully balanced and devilishly delicious: a real discovery.

Tasted in November and December 2019. Same observation: a technical wine with no personality and no flaws. Lacks liveliness for an Entre-Deux-Mers. A favorite?
