Château Villa Bel-Air

This beautiful 18th-century estate was bought by the family of Armand Ballande in 2017 and benefits from the most advanced winegrowing techniques while remaining true to the ancestral traditions.
The team is advised by Derenoncourt Consultants and has set itself the goal of benefitting from the terroir’s exceptional capacity and continuing to deliver all its potential by producing a white and red wine that exemplifies all the finesse and complexity of Graves wines.

The terroir

The property is perched on a magnificent gravel brow. The soil is composed of
Garonne gravel, and lies on a subsoil base of clay-limestone, partly ferruginous.
The terroir also benefits from an advantageous micro-climate: the surrounding pine forests protect it from bad weather, and the proximity of the Garonne River mitigates both extreme heat and excess humidity.
