Description

Château Belgrave 1978 – Haut-Médoc

The 1978 Château Belgrave, from the Haut-Médoc appellation, exemplifies the classical elegance of this Médoc Grand Cru Classé. Located on deep gravel soils near Saint-Julien, the estate enjoys an exceptional terroir planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot.

The 1978 vintage, rescued by a favorable late season after a slow summer, produced balanced and promising wines with notable finesse. Today, this cuvée reveals a mature garnet robe with orange highlights and an elegant bouquet of ripe red fruits, blond tobacco, leather, and forest floor. On the palate, it offers a supple texture, mellow tannins, and a delicately persistent finish, reflecting the subtlety of Haut-Médoc wines from this vintage.

A wine of charm and balanc
