Chateau Belgrave Fifth Growths

Chateau Belgrave

Fifth Growths Grand Cru Classe

Chateau Belgrave started out life under the name of Chateau Coutenceau. The name changed to Chateau Belgrave in the early part of the 20th century. Stepping back in time, as you will see, what we know of as Chateau Belgrave was not always a vineyard. In fact, under King Louis XIV, it was originally used as a hunting lodge.

The art work on the label is to remind you that in its past, the estate was used as a hunting lodge. The modern era for Chateau Belgrave began when it was renamed by an English owner that was living in Belgravia, London. As you can see, the home in England became the inspiration for the name Chateau Belgrave.

Chateau Belgrave is situated in Haut Medoc, just west of Beychevelle in St. Julien. It is also next door to Chateau Lagrange, which is also in St. Julien. Just a few meters further and it could have been in St. Julien.

The Left Bank chateau is managed by Dourthe, who is owned by the large negociant CVGB. Dourthre began leasing Chateau Belgrave in 1979. The lease was renegotiated in 2000. This allowed Dourthe to maintain control of the estate until at least 2025.

The wine-making facilities of Chateau Belgrave were renovated in 2004, allowing for more of a parcel by parcel approach to vinification.

Starting in 1990, they changed their farming techniques for Chateau Belgrave, moving closer to a cleaner form of vineyard management with the elimination of all chemical fertilizers and limiting the use of pesticides, along with harvesting riper fruits and seeking lower yields. In 1993, a major renovation of the wine-making facilities and cellars took place.

The large, 59-hectare, vineyard of Chateau Belgrave is planted to 46% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. This represents a change in the vineyard, with more Merlot vines being added.

The plan is to continue to slowly phase out the remaining Cabernet Franc vines over time. The terroir is deep gravel with clay, sand, and limestone deposits in the soils. The vineyard is inland, on two sloping hillsides, next to Chateau Lagrange in St. Julien. At its peak, the elevations rise to 26 meters.

The vineyard is planted to a vine density that ranges from 6,500 vines per hectare up to 10,000 vines per hectare, depending on the parcel. The vineyard is in one large, single block of vines, which are contiguous and close to the chateau.

The wine of Chateau Belgrave is vinified in a combination of temperature-controlled vats of stainless steel and wood vats. This breaks down to 33 stainless steel tanks and 6 oak vats. The wine of Chateau Belgrave is aged in 40% to 60% new, French oak barrels, depending on the character and style of the vintage. Chateau Belgrave is consulted by Michel Rolland.

Wines of Chateau Cantemerle：

CHÂTEAU BELGRAVE
AOC Haut-Médoc
Declared Grand Cru Classé in 1855, Château Belgrave is the estate’s fine wine. A majority blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals all the finesse and character of this great terroir. Dense and deep, it is an age-worthy wine with fresh, complex flavours, and very ‘Saint-Julien’ in style.

DIANE DE BELGRAVE
AOC Haut-Médoc
Diane de Belgrave is Château Belgrave’s second wine. The name is a reminder of the estate’s historic links to hunting. Benefiting from the same viticultural regime and winemaking facilities as the Grand Cru Classé wine, the second wine is made from younger vines. The result is a supple, fruity wine with delicate tannins.
