2020, Belgrave
Belgrave, Grand Cru Classé
Exclusive agency or direct allocations
"Almost deep black in appearance. On the nose, the wine reveals remarkable complexity, combining intense aromas of dark fruits with notes of spice and liquorice. A distinguished intense wine of great finesse, which develops with an exceptionally long finish. This very ageworthy vintage exemplifies ths potential of this magnificent terroir. (March 2021)
Blend
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot"
- Frédéric Bonnaffous, Vignobles Dourthe Director. Château Belgrave
"Very pretty and fresh with blackberry and blueberry aromas. Some flowers, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with round, polished tannins and a vivid finish."
- James Suckling, 92 - 93 Points
"Sappy and muscular black fruits here, you really get the impression that the tannins and colour components in the grapes have been searched for and gently coaxed out. Tobacco leaf and redcurrant aromatics arrive that show the fruits are not as exuberant as in some years, but this has been well handled and carefully balanced. 32% new oak for ageing."
- Jane Anson, Decanter, 91 Points
