Dourthe, Chateau Belgrave Haut-Médoc Grand Cru Classé 2018

Deeply concentrated, the wine is almost black in appearance at this stage. The complex bouquet interweaves the aromatic intensity of black berry fruitsredolent of cassis and fresh blackberries, with camphor, menthol notes. The wine is initially smooth on the palate, becoming increasingly generous and well-balanced as the fruit character evolves, underpinned by delicate, fine-grained tannins. The wine’s fruit-laden core, lifted by hints of mint, and its impressive structure strike a perfect balance, and accompany the long, supremely elegant finish.

The wine goes well with red meat, such as beef, lamb with herbs of Provence, veal and roasted quail.

Stainless-steel vats of various capacities. Malolactic fermentation partially in barrels.

The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12-15 months.
