Description

CHÂTEAU BELGRAVE
Now entering its rewarding plateau of maturity, this is a classically honed claret with delicious secondary notes of cedar and tobacco and fine, well-balanced tannins.

This Haut-Médoc property, separated from Saint-Julien only by a small stream, was awarded its fifth-growth status thanks to the quality of its deep gravel soil. It had become run down to just 20 hectares of higgledy-piggledy vineyards when the négociant Dourthe took over its management in 1979.

The vineyards now cover 59 hectares planted across two small hills. The gravel-rich soils at their peak are ideal for cabernet sauvignon, whereas towards their base the gravel is mixed with sandy clay, which suits merlot very well.

There have been significant renovations to both the cellar and vineyards since Dourthe took over, most recent of which, in 2004, was a new winery and barrel hall. Belgrave is a blend of 51% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. After fermentation takes places in a mix of stainless steel and wooden vats, the wine ages for 12 months in oak barrels, around 35-45% of which are new.

Dourthe’s hard work began to pay off seriously after about 15 to 20 years and the property now regularly makes claret with body and real quality for keeping.
