Appellation d'origine contrôlée and Fifth Grand Cru Classé in Haut-Médoc
Taken over in 1979 by Dourthe, Château Belgrave is a 5th Classified Growth of the 1855 classification in the Haut-Médoc. Located 30km north-west of Bordeaux (Left Bank of the Garonne), Château Belgrave neighbours the châteaux of La Tour Carnet, Camensac and Lagrange. The 59 ha of vines, cultivated using sustainable farming methods, are rooted in a soil composed of 2 elevated ridges of deep gravel over clay and sandy-gravel subsoils. With an average age of 25 years, the vineyard is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (1%).
Château Belgrave produces 2 red wines: the first wine is the "Fine Wine of Belgrave" and the second wine is called "Diane de Belgrave". The Fine Wine of Belgrave is fairly deep, fleshy and well-rounded with its aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar, menthol and enveloping tannins. The peak of the Fine Wine falls between 5 and 12 years, and longer for the 2015 and 2014 vintages, which are particularly successful. The second wine of Château Belgrave, "Diane de Belgrave", comes primarily from the estate's young vines. It is a fruity, supple and finely tannic wine that can be enjoyed younger than the first wine, to be drunk within 3 to 5 years. Château Belgrave has remarkably improved in quality since 2000 thanks to a successful reconfiguration of the vineyard. The best vintages of Château Belgrave are: 2015, 2014, 2010, 2009, 2005 and 2000. The value for money is good and the qualitative improvement since 2000 will attract enthusiasts to take a close interest in the estate.
