Chateau Belgrave Grand Cru 1999
Introduction
Chateau Belgrave Grand Cru 1999 is a distinguished red wine from the Haut-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 classification, the estate has been managed by Vignobles Dourthe since 1979. Dourthe's winemaking philosophy focuses on expressing the personality of the estate's 'outstanding terroir'—characterized by deep gravel hills on a clay subsoil—through significant investment in vineyard mapping and gravity-fed cellar technology.
Wine Description
This Bordeaux blend typically consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. In the glass, the 1999 vintage shows a bright purple colour with a charming garnet red hue at the rim. The sensory profile features a nose of blueberry, blackcurrant, and mulberry, intertwined with complex notes of liquorice, spices, and a hint of mint. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and balanced with a velvety tannic structure and an elegantly dry taste. It displays fresh flavours of ripe black fruits and forest berries, supported by mineral notes of gravel and sand that persist into a long finish. The wine was aged for 14 months on fine lees in oak barrels.
