Chateau Belgrave – Haut-Medoc – 2011
$57.00
Blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.
Included as a 5th growth in the 1855 classification thanks to the quality of its deep gravel soil, Chateau Belgrave has been managed by the negociant firm of Dourthe since 1979. An attractive 18th century hunting lodge surrounded by sixty hectares of vines in a single block, Belgrave is located in the commune of Saint-Laurent, separated from the Saint-Julien appellation only by a small stream.
This is a dark wine that’s dominated by firm and dry tannins. It has weight and power, with juicy plum flavors showing slowly under the tannins. Shows long-aging potential. Wine Enthusiast – 94
