The story of the Vignerons de Bel Air began in 1929 at the dawn of the Great Depression, when a handful of winemakers in Beaujolais joined forces to resist the economic storm. Now, with 250 members growing within all ten cru appellations, the Bel Air winery holds firm to the tough and dynamic core it was founded upon. We bring you the "clochet" or clocktower series of crus, with the steeple of each of the cru village churches featured on the label. Each of these wines offer the characteristics that the region is known for, beautiful fruit expression, finesse, balance and complexity of terroir.
