2012 Château Villa Bel-Air, Graves, Bordeaux

Supple, charming and extremely approachable even at this young age, this is likely to be one of the most affordable wines of the vintage. There is real value here, especially when you consider how the expertise of the Cazes family (Ch. Lynch-Bages), who own and manage the estate, is a crucial component to its creation.
