Chateau Belgrave 5eme Cru Classe Haut-Medoc

Bordeaux

Haut-Médoc

Plenty of graphite and ink notes, cassis and bilberry fruits, firm tannic frame and a juicy finish. 32hl/h yield. Co-fermented Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon because they were unusually ripe at the same time, harvest from September 12 to 28. 3.72ph. Extensive vineyard work over past few years with cover crops, mulching, organic general cover to keep temperature low has helped maintain this attractive freshness and sense of subdued confidence. 25% new oak.

Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Belgrave leaps with bold notions of blackberry preserves, warm cassis, and chocolate-covered cherries plus wafts of lavender and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet, with a soft texture, appealing freshness, and an uncomplicated finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Is quite closed with subtle notes of red currant jelly and juicy strawberries, plus touches of dried herbs and pencil lead. The light to medium-bodied palate is lightly chewy and refreshing, while thin on flavor and short on finish.

The 2023 Belgrave has a deep garnet-purple color. Notes of wild sage and stewed red plums lead to hints of wet slate and black olives, with a hint of charcoal. The light to medium-bodied palate is a touch lean and simple, yet nicely composed with soft tannins and a refreshing finish.

This is savoury, well balanced, with Left Bank typicity in its slate, coffee bean and cassis friut lifted by mint, black pepper and all-spice, with the smoke of the gravel terroir. 29% new oak. Single point upscore. Guillaume Rousseau cellar master is originally from Burgundy. Tasted twice.

The 2020 Belgrave is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with notes of dried herbs and mossy tree bark over a core of cassis, warm black plums, and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is rugged and chewy, with a lively backbone and a lifted finish.

Flint and gunsmoke on the first nose, in the glass there are tightly-wound tannins that provide a confident if angular frame, and plenty of black fruits that open up through the mid palate. Measured and enjoyable. Harvest 19 September to 10 October, 32% new oak.

The 2018 Belgrave is deep garnet purple in color. It features blackcurrants, black cherries, and mulberries, with hints of dried mint, cedar, and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and chewy, with a lively line and muscular fruit, finishing with a mineral lift. 

Mørke, modne røde bær på nesen. 
Solbær, bjørnebær. Avrunda tanninner, og såpass moden frukt, usikker på om den utvikler seg mer. Lær, sort pepper, litt spice. Middels kraftig, medium fylde, god lengde.
