Producer tasting notes: "Highly concentrated in color with violet tones, the wine boasts a delicate bouquet emanating complex notes of dark fruits. Full and supple on the attack, the wine develops against a backdrop of very delicate, concentrated, smooth tannins. Long on the finish, showing great finesse, this wine is a true success." - Chateau Belgrave

- Producer Notes
- The great wine of the property is Château Belgrave, classified 5th Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Thanks to the studies carried out on the property to understand the behaviour of the vine according to the nature of the subsoil and its water supply, the Château Belgrave team has acquired a perfect knowledge of the vineyard. The viticultural work, associated with reasoned protection, as well as the harvest have been adapted to this cartography. The wine expresses all the finesse and personality of this great terroir. Dense and deep, it is distinguished by its ageing capacity, its aromatic complexity and its very Saint-Julien character.
