The vintage
2021 was atypical! Rain, frost... hopefully the vineyards in the hills of Beaumes de Venise suffered less. Lower temperatures have resulted in good natural acidity levels, which means lower alcohol in the final wines.Thanks
to the great work of our team, we have harvested less quantities of grapes but all in very quood quality.

Terroir
Located north-east of the town of Beaumes de Venise, the terroir of Bel Air is recognizable thanks to its typical white color, due to marl and clay (100-140M years old)
Winemaking
Hand harvest at optimum maturity. Grenache grapes are destemmed, pressed and put into vats at controlled temperature (25°C) for a 18-days maceration. Syrah is fermented in whole bunches. The final blend is aged 12 months in vats with regular racking-off.
