About the Villa Bel Air, try here:

The site (which hasn't been updated since 2004...) says, about the white, Sauvignon Blanc 42%, Semillin 42%, Muscadelle, 16%

Dee, I have only had the Aneri, but I was very impressed with it. Here's what I wrote about it here:

NV Aneri Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut nose: stones, intense floral and tropical fruit notes palate: light body, crisp entry, fine mousse, bone dry, crisp finish

I'd certainly open it as an aperitif if I had any and, no, I wouldn't add any peach nectar, either ;-)

Villa Bel Air (like most Graves estates) makes both a blanc and a rouge. The blanc should be mostly Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, with maybe a dash of Muscadelle. 2001 was generally an excellent year for Bdx whites.

Can I come to dinner please?

I'll put a few extra whites to chill. :-))

I have a few bottles of that wine that I bought at a local discount grocery store. It is quite good in my opinion. However, it tends to oxidize after opening and will not be as good the next day. Yours seems to be mis-labeled; it is certainly not a CS/Me/CF blend. Mine has no indication of the cepage.
