Domaine du Bel Air is run by Pierre Gauthier, the fifth generation of his family to farm these Bourgueil vineyards. The estate was certified organic in 2009 and now farms 15 hectares biodynamically. Bourgueil sits on the north bank of the Loire, where the tufa limestone and gravel soils of the Saint-Nicolas plateau yield structured Cabernet Francs that benefit from aging. Grand Mont is a single-vineyard parcel with vines averaging 45 years old on siliceous clay over tufa. Whole-cluster fermented using native yeasts, aged 12 months in used barrels. Gauthier's wines emphasize purity over extraction—dark fruit and graphite aromatics, medium-bodied with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Chill lightly and serve with charcuterie, roasted poultry, or aged cow's milk cheeses.

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
