Producer Information

Chateau Bellegrave is a certified organic wine estate in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. It makes a single red wine from Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
The property has 8.5 hectares of vines with a 75:25 split in favour of Merlot. Soils are stony gravel, clay and sand; subsoils are iron-rich crasse de fer.

Grapes

Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Production

The vineyard began to covert to organic practices from 2001, making it something of a trailblazer within Pomerol. It achieved Ecocert certification in 2009.
Harvests are carried out manually, plot by plot and row by row, with the order dictated by ripening. Hi tech sorting tables remove leaf matter, stems and seeds. The crushed grapes ferment in temperature-controlled vats.
Maturation takes place in vats made from fine-grained Allier oak from the Trocais forest. The wine is bottled after 20 months. There is no second wine, though the Bouldy family make two other organic red wines wines from other properties.

Tasting Notes

Discreet nose, delicately toasted, ripe cherry, sweet spices, bitter almond touch. A little on the reserve with a soft and measured extraction. Finesse of ripe and elegant tannins. Of medium persistence while retaining a nice freshness.
