The estate covers approximately 26 hectares, planted to Merlot [90%] and Cabernet Franc [10%]. On the 2000 vintage. "The great millennial Belair continues to impress. It has a wonderful nose that takes time to undress. blackberry, dark plum, raspberry, graphite and a touch of cigar smoke. The palate evokes the richness and the opulence of the vintage with a superb citric thread of acidity, finishing with structure and focus. Great potential." Neal Martin, 2010
