Chateau Belgrave is a winery in the Haut-Mdoc appellation of the Bordeaux region of France.
The wine produced here was classified as one of eighteen Cinquimes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. At the time of classification, the winery was called Chteau Coutenceau. The "Bellegrave" designation first appeared in 1845, when Bruno Devs, a negociant in Bordeaux, remodelled the estate, favoring wine growing on gravel terroirs. Chteau Belgrave is located in the commune Saint-Laurent-Mdoc, immediately to the west of the border with Saint-Julien-Beychevelle. It is thus situated in a sub-regional appellation, but close to the border of a communal appellation, in similarity to its Fifth Growth Saint neighbours in Saint-Laurent, Chteau Camensac and Chteau La Tour Carnet. Its immediate neighbour over the commune border in Saint-Julien is Chteau Lagrange.
The vineyard of 59 hectares is planted with the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (42%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (3%). Chteau Belgrave produces a second wine called Diane de Belgrave, introduced with the 1987 vintage.
