The property is perched on a magnificent gravel brow. The soil is composed of Garonne gravel, and lies on a subsoil base of clay-limestone, partly ferruginous. The terroir also benefits from an advantageous micro-climate: the surrounding pine forests protect it from bad weather, and the proximity of the Garonne River mitigates both extreme heat and excess humidity.

Advanced techniques are implemented in the renewed vines but the spirit in which they are tended perpetuate ancestral traditions. Today Chateau Villa Bel-Air produces red and white wines which perfectly illustrate the finesse and complexity of Grave wines.
