Château Belgrave - Haut-Médoc - Rouge - 2014

Wine:

The 2014 Chateau Belgrave secures its place at the top of its appellation with finesse and elegance. Carried by an oceanic influence, it is adorned with a lot of freshness, with smoky, balsamic, and sandalwood notes. The wine is not overdone, but the ageing carries it and ennobles it, rounding out its texture and perfectly matching the maturity of the vintage. The palate remains steady, with firm tannins and a spicy structure: a form of classicism without austerity and a finish that gently lingers... It has not said its last word: enjoy it today or aging it for another 5 to 6 years. Rated 92/100 by the Revue du Vin de France.
