Chateau Villa Bel-Air Graves 2016

Let’s jump right to the good stuff, shall we? Chateau Villa Bel-Air Graves is located in the Southern part of Graves, in the parish of Saint-Morillon, near La Brède and here’s the MOST EXCITING PART -- the Chateau is owned and operated by the same family and winemaking team behind the legendary Chateau Lynch-Bages (in Pauillac), so it is not hard to understand why the quality is so excellent here, vis a vis the price! That’s why we call it an insider wine – the savviest and most bargain focused Bordeaux drinkers snap this up every year!

This, coupled with the fact that we have a fantastic Bordeaux vintage and a very nice 92-point score and we can’t find any reason this isn’t a candidate for “best deal of the year”.

Gorgeous drinking right out of the gate and over the next decade. Boysenberry, rich tobacco, dark cocoa and toasted spice, masculine in structure and long and complex. AH-mazing price!!
