Château Belgrave is a Fifth Growth wine estate situated within the Haut-Médoc appellation. Since 1979 the estate has been in the expert hands of the Dourthe family, who made a significant investment in its infrastructure. This is the 2019 vintage of its flagship wine, a blend composed of 55% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. The nose reveals wildflowers, tobacco leaves, plums, espresso, cassis and a touch of smoke. On the palate, the wine is fresh and juicy, brimming with dark and red berries and a spicy kick.
