Château Belgrave Haut-Médoc 2022
Focus on powerful black fruits, delivers both length and grip, clear Cabernet Sauvignon dominance, mint leaf and cocoa bean, this is great quality, enjoyable, a touch of austerity on the finish that suggests it could do with a few years of bottle ageing. Plenty of Pauillac character despite being on the edge of the appellation in AOC Haut-Médoc. Jean-Philippe Fort consultant, 33% new oak for ageing. Owned by Vignobles Dourthe since 1979, and they have completed a big replanting programme, vineyard age on average 40 years, so things are really in its stride, and this now delivers consistently excellent quality wine. One to look out for.
