Chateau Bellegrave has a great location. The vineyards are situated between Ch. Latour and Ch. Lynch Bages and if you are looking for a great wine at a great price, and in Pauillac where such wines are not usually found much, I recommend Bellegrave without reservation. The 2011 Bellegrave presents an interplay of currant and black cherry with a subtle mineral finish. This is a beautiful classic. The wine offers silky concentration, excellent acidity and tannins as precise as a Swiss watch, with just under nine hectares of vineyards at your full disposal. Just to point out that, again, nine hectares is not so much that the wine will quickly disappear from the market. Bellegrave is a wine that once you taste it, you become its slave forever.

Chateau Bellegrave
Château Bellegrave enjoys an excellent location. The vineyards are situated between Château Latour and Château Lynch Bages, and if you're looking for great wine at a great price in Pauillac, where such wines are usually rare, we recommend Bellegrave without reservation.
Thanks to its small vineyard (9 hectares), the vines receive exceptional care, resulting in a classic, very strong wine typical of the appellation each year. The vineyard is planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Around 29,000 bottles of Château Bellegrave wine are produced annually. The wine matures for 12 months in barrels, with approximately 40% being new barrels. The second wine is Les Sieurs de Bellegrave.
There are several properties named Bellegrave in Bordeaux, including one in Pomerol, and a number of others named Belgrave. The wine from this Château Bellegrave is one that, once tasted, will make you its lifelong devotee.
