Château Bel Air Marquis D'aligre
Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2010
These wines are really cool and develop so much with air
Domaine du Jaugaret
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006
High tone nose with a touch of va/ acetone. Translucent and almost no sediment in the bottle.. really old school a la Bel Air-Marquis D’Aligre. Palate is electric, very classically structured and fresh as a daisy. Nose takes a day to start showing floral and fruit notes and classic st Julien character. Very good, almost great; the aromatics never really soar. Bought at the domaine; Jaugaret is an organic and small production family winery (surrounded by mega châteaux). — 3 years ago
I find neighboring domains often interesting 👌
These guys march to their own drummer. Haven’t had (or seen) one in decades.

First time trying this. Opened 8 hours before and decanted for 4, which I’d suggest at this stage. I don’t think I would have guessed Bordeaux blind, probably would have gone something from Piedmont. Not actually giving a ton on the nose, but quite nice and deep plum / purple fruited / leathery on the palate. Hauntingly balanced finish that goes on and on. Very nice. — 3 months ago
