Les Quatre Piliers Touraine "Bel Air" (sauvignon) dry white 2022:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, Oct. 2025): 95+/100. Made from a very dry vintage, the 2022 Bel Air is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of menthol, white fruits, confit citrus, honey and pineapple, all framed by a delicate touch of oak. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it’s dense and deep, with racy acids and a fleshy core of fruit that concludes with a saline, chalky finish. DRINK DATE 2028-2050.

Technical Sheet written by the estate:

GRAPE VARIETY: Sauvignon on clay-flint terroir, aged two years in wood (with very little new oak to avoid marking the wine) and then one year in bottles.

TASTING: The color is deep with golden yellow reflections. On the nose, the attack is powerful and profound, revealing notes of candied citrus, pineapple, and elderflower. On the palate, this great cuvée delights us with its aromatic complexity, finesse, length, and persistence. The finish is supported by fresh and delicate wood that allows the salinity of the terroir to shine through.

AGING POTENTIAL: Over 15 years

SERVING ADVICE: Aerate the wine in a decanter for 45 minutes. Enjoy at 14 °C.
