The 2026 Chateau Belgrave is a seriously smart release from this low-key address. Pure and focused on the palate. The smartly rounded black fruit is delivered with precision and measured power. Pure essence of blackberries and blueberries and then some high-toned raspberry notes keeping it lifted and juicy. Good intensity - gently delivered. Highly recommended if the price makes sense, this will drink really well for a least ten years once it wakes up from a few years in your cellar. Drinking range: 2031 - 2041 L&S (Apr 2026)

A precise and characterful wine with aromas of black currants, black cherries and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with a juicy finish. Terrific wine. Only 13% alcohol. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Rating: 93-94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2026)

Deep plum colour, clear intensity and juice, this has the slate and graphite texture of the Left Bank coupled with well handled and impressive crayon, graphite, and cassis character. Harvest September 3 to 19. 32% new oak. Tasted twice, clear austerity that is consistent with an En Primeur sample. First year Penelope Godefroy technical director across the Dourthe Vignobles. 24hl/ha yield. Drinking range: 2027 - 2040 Rating: 94 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (Apr 2026)

The 2025 Belgrave is impressive. Aromatic, deep and layered, Belgrave has so much to offer. Blue-toned fruits, lavender, espresso and chocolate are front and center. The 2025 is juicy but quite structured. It appears to have a very bright future. Floral overtones extend the nuanced finish. Tasted two times. Drinking range: 2030 - 2045 Rating: 91-93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2026)

Château Belgrave

Haut-Médoc Cinquième cru 1855 Despite being listed as a 5th Growth in the 1855 classification, Château Belgrave's reputation for great wine-making is very recent. It is only since it came under the Dourthe umbrella that serious advances have been made in the vineyards, production techniques and, consequently, the finished wine. The estate is in the commune of St Laurent-Médoc and, therefore, only entitled to the Haut-Médoc appellation. However, only a small stream seperates the vineyards from St Julien, and the gravel soils are very much the same. Whilst the name might appear to derive from these same gravelly soils, apparently it dates from the time of an English owner who named his vineyard after the London district of Belgravia! Since the Dourthe take-over the vineyards have been gradually replanted to a more Médoc-like 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, whilst the proportion of Merlot has shrunk to just over 40%, with the rest made up of a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
