Château Belgrave is located in the Haut-Médoc and was classified as 5th Cru Classé in 1855. It is actually almost a Saint-Julien, as its vineyards border directly on Chateau Lagrange.

In 1979, the Negociant (trading house) Dourthe acquired Chateau Belgrave and subsequently invested large sums of money to further improve the quality of the wines. "Staroenologist" Michel Rolland played a key role in the success. Among the Grand Cru Classé, Château Belgrave can now be seen as a bargain. A juicy wine with charm and depth that can usually be enjoyed after a relatively short storage time.

The 2020 vintage at Chateau Belgrave was once again excellent. A wine that combines intensity, extract and a wonderful cassis aroma with complex depth and a balanced and enormously long finish. A benchmark in this price range. Further proof of the high spheres to which Chateau Belgrave has soared.

The Wine Enthusiast rates the Belgrave 2020 with an impressive 94/100 and writes: "This powerful wine is just setting out. It has potential, with ripe black currant fruits and layers of wood flavors. The wine is well-balanced and the fruit is juicy and ripe. Drink this classified growth from 2027."
