Belgrave Red 2013 A Grand Crus From Haut-Medoc

The Belgrave wine: a gem of the Haut-Médoc

Description of the wine

The Belgrave wine is a red wine produced by Château Belgrave, a vineyard located in the Haut-Médoc region of Gironde. Château Belgrave covers 60 hectares with a vineyard planted with four grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. These grape varieties give the wine a great aromatic complexity, making it an elegant and sought-after wine.

Tasting

The Belgrave has a purple to violet color. On the nose, it reveals fruity aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, and blueberry, as well as animal and spicy notes. In the mouth, it surprises with its fresh eucalyptus attack, finishing with a slight freshness at the end of the mouth. Its texture is silky and smooth, which brings a pleasant velvety sensation.

Food and wine pairings

The Belgrave wine pairs perfectly with meat dishes such as beef, lamb, and game (deer, roe deer). It also accompanies poultry and spicy dishes. Its alcohol of 12.8% makes it a balanced and enjoyable wine to taste. It can be kept in the cellar for several years to develop even more complex aromas.

In short, the Belgrave is a gem of the Haut-Médoc, which seduces wine lovers with its aromatic complexity, elegance, and freshness in the mouth. It is perfect for accompanying meat dishes and convivial evenings with friends or family.

A difficult vintage in the Médoc region, but with interesting potential for wines meant for aging. The wines are tannic and a bit austere, but can be enjoyable with food.
