Château Bel Air - Marquis d'Aligre 2005

Tasting notes

Neal Martin's review in Vinous:

"The 2005 Bel-Air Marquis d’Aligre has a strict, backward, tobacco and graphite-tinged bouquet with more black fruit than red, unlike the 2001. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, harmonious and crisp with a fine thread of acidity. There is a gentle build in the mouth, quite linear but delivering a very nuanced, lightly spiced, clove-infused finish. This Margaux is endowed with impressive density compared to other vintages tasted, the fruit veering towards black plums and a hint of balsamic. I admire the transparency of the wine, one that makes you feel as if you are peering directly into the vineyard."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Château Bel-Air Marquis d’Aligre in Margaux is run by the redoutable Jean-Pierre Boyer who at 86 years old (in 2019) has produced 69 vintages in his life, all of them at the same propriété. He remembers helping his dad making the legendary 1947!

What is even more remarkable is that during all these years almost nothing has changed at Bel-Air Marquis d’Aligre: the vines, the winery, the way Mr Boyer makes the wine, while everything else has changed around him, as he likes to point out.

The one and only notable adjustment was the oak barrels which he got rid of in the 1950s, as he regarded them as mere marketing gimmicks and reverted to cement tanks for both fermentation and ageing.
