History

Originally a well-known hunting pavilion during the reign of Louis XV, the vineyards were developed notably under the influence of the Coutanceau family. The chateau was included in the prestigious 1855 classification under this name.

The “Bellegrave” designation first appeared in 1845, when Bordeaux negociant Bruno Devès remodelled the estate and planted vines on the finest gravel plots. He built dwellings, wineries and tank rooms and constructed the current residence on the site of the former hunting pavilion. The name Belgrave was officially adopted in the early 20th century by Marcel Alibert, who owned the estate for almost 30 years. The link between the Cru and hunting is still in evidence today,symbolised by a ferret featuring on the wine packaging.

Since 1979, Dourthe keeps striving for the excellence of this cru.

Terroir & Vinification

Situated at the extremities of the St-Julien appellation, separated only by a stream, Chateau Belgrave is one of the Medoc's oldest Cru vineyards. In 1855, given the exceptional quality of the property's deep gravel soils, it was awarded 5th growth classification. The diversity of soils are well-suited to late-ripening varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the latter now accounting for 4% of the vineyard.

The estate's two gravel outcrops, at 23m and 26m respectively, are made up of gravel and ‘galet' pudding stones dating back several thousand years and overlying a clay bedrock. The gravel thins towards the foot of the hillocks, gradually replaced by well-drained gravel and sand, and clay outcrops, which are particularly suited to cultivating Merlot.

Tasting

A ripe and delicious second wine with serious density and round tannins. Flavorful finish already.
