Chateau Belgrave Description

Chateau Belgrave was not always a vineyard. In fact, under King Louis XIV, it was originally used as a hunting lodge.

Chateau Belgrave is situated in Haut Medoc, just west of Beychevelle in St. Julien. It is also next door to Chateau Lagrange, which is also in St. Julien. Just a few meters further and it could have been in St. Julien.

The wine-making facilities of Chateau Belgrave were renovated in 2004, allowing for more of a parcel by parcel approach to vinification.Starting in 1990, they changed their farming techniques for Chateau Belgrave, moving closer to a cleaner form of vineyard management with the elimination of all chemical fertilizers and limiting the use of pesticides, along with harvesting riper fruits and seeking lower yields. In 1993, a major renovation of the wine-making facilities and cellars took place.
The large, 59-hectare, vineyard of Chateau Belgrave is planted to 46% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. This represents a change in the vineyard, with more Merlot vines being added.
