Château Pavillon Bel-Air
Château Pavillon Bel-Air sits in Lalande-de-Pomerol, the Libournais satellite appellation known for supple, Merlot-driven reds with structure and aging potential. The winery produces two core expressions. Le Chapelain Lalande de Pomerol blends Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec—a five-variety composition that adds textural complexity to the region's characteristic plushness. The flagship Lalande de Pomerol centers on Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, a more streamlined take on the appellation's profile. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The terroir of Lalande-de-Pomerol, adjacent to the more celebrated Pomerol, offers clay and iron-rich soils that yield wines with depth and balance, accessible in youth yet capable of development.
