Bel Air 2005 is a medium-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the St-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux. Château Bel-Air is a 30-hectare estate located in Lussac-Saint-Emilion, the most northerly of the four satellites within the larger Saint-Émilion appellation. "The 2005 may be the finest Belair I have ever tasted (which includes at least 35 vintages). By no means inspiring, especially in the context of the vintage, it is a deep ruby-hued, medium-bodied 2005 offering an attractive, sweet bouquet of black cherry liqueur, earth, and vanilla. It is made in a medium-bodied style that is not dissimilar from Moueix’s nearby premier grand cru classe estate, Magdelaine. There is more minerality here, but this finesse-styled St.-Emilion should be at its best between 2013-2023."Robert Parker, 2006
