Description

As the name suggests, 20 plots combine to make this expression of Bourgueil. This is a serious wine made with ageing and development in mind. Darker fruits with sweet spice and bramble notes all give it a distinctly autumnal feel while the fine tannins add to its complexity. This wine has huge ageing potential and always offers incredible value – this year being no exception.

Critics reviews

Andy Howard MW 16/20

More of a rustic, old-fashioned feel. Touch of meatiness on the palate – plenty here to chew on. Intriguing violet-driven perfume. Pepper notes to finish. Less sophisticated than most of the Chinons tasted here – but perhaps that’s Bourgeuil for you.

Drink 2024 - 2028

Yohan Castaing 91/100

Crafted from vines planted on south-facing clay and sandy soils, the 2022 Bourgueil Domaine du Bel Air les Vingt Lieux-dits evokes cassis, mulberries, spices, and liquorice aromas. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and supple, it’s mouth-coating and charming with a delicate, fruity core of fruit and powdery tannins. It concludes with a long, pure, and delicate finish. Destemmed and macerated for 30 days, it’s matured in demi-muids.
